WELCOME TO THE ACORN GROUP PRACTICE

A very warm welcome to The Acorn Group Practice! On this website you will find the services we offer set out along with some helpful phone numbers. There is also advice on illnesses that you may feel you can manage yourself.

The practice takes pride in its long history (its roots go back to the 1930s) blended with the ability to deliver state-of-the-art health care. We believe this enables us to offer a really unique service. Always people-centred, we endeavour to create a genuinely caring
environment both for our patients and for our staff whilst also encouraging patients to take responsibility for their own health.

We understand the central role of education and believe that we must use this tool in order to provide the highest standard of care for our patients. We therefore consider it our mandate to advise you on preventative issues necessary to maintain your health. We also understand that you want the doctors and nurses who look after you to keep motivated and up to date with medical developments. We are determined to do so through an education programme which encourages every level of our organisation.
We also believe that you deserve the best representation in local health politics and have always had a deliberately high profile in securing the best for our patients at that level.

But most of all we understand that you want to feel free to discuss your concerns with us in a private and unhurried environment. We realise that you want to feel heard and respected. We like to think of medicine as a genuine partnership in which you will play a key role and where we will offer individual advice based on the best knowledge available.
We do believe that we have something special to offer and hope that you, in time, will come to believe that too.

Our mission is to provide our patients with readily available medical care of the highest standard whilst encouraging them to show responsibility for their health. We aim to do this in a friendly and helpful environment and to ensure that partners and staff achieve both their personal and their professional goals.
