Partington Family Practice
The doctors and staff at Partington Family Practice are very aware of the local challenges many of our patients have.
The faces at the surgery have been here for a long time and we understand the unique healthcare needs of our community. We have worked closely with various agencies over the last 3 years to help reach this point where a real difference can be made for locals.
Already we are benefiting from Kay, our Focused Care Practitioner. Many of the issues we see at the surgery may not have a medical solution, but the impact and overlap of health and social situations are well recognised. The potential to improve both of these through using the Feel Better Partington programme is massive, and we would invite anyone wanting to improve themselves in 2024 to apply now to see the benefits.
Seeing your GP is not required so please self-refer now! Act now to improve your health and to Feel Better.
