Our Vision : To help our patients become happier and healthier'

Our Mission : The St Peter's team supports the delivery of the best possible healthcare in partnership with our patients

We are a large, popular practice (20K patients) who have moved into state of the art modern premises.

We employ 10 GPs, our own pharmacist and pharmacy technician, mental health, specialist alcohol and generalist advanced nursing practitioners and first contact physiotherapists. We also have access to our PCN paramedic home visiting service as well as a whole range of other support workers including a LTC housebound visiting team, extensive social prescribing service, frailty team and health and well being coaches.

We recently signed up to the General Practice Improvement Programme and take the Safe Working in General Practice very seriously indeed. We believe in trying to the patient cared for by the right person, in the right place at the right time and are exploring clinician-led triage to help make this happen.

We believe in peer support and meet regularly for co-supervision. We are re-starting Balint groups and hold regular Schwartz rounds with our PCN colleagues. We teach undergraduate medical students and will soon train GPs and have nursing students commencing in May this year. We are as diverse as our patients and this is Brighton!
