Latest News

Welcome to our new GP, Dr Raines and welcome back to Dr Watson who has been on maternity leave.

We are pleased to announce that Saltaire Medical Practice has been awarded the Quality Practice Award (QPA) by the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).

The Quality Practice Award is the highest attainable award available from the RCGP, its purpose being to improve patient care by encouraging and supporting practices to deliver the very highest quality care to their patients. The award was achieved following a comprehensive submission and assessment by the RCGP who examined in detail the criterion required to satisfy the College's accreditation process. Following the submission of an extensive portfolio of written evidence set against a number of criteria and modules compiled over an 18 month period a full day assessment was conducted by a panel comprising of a GP, Nurse, Manager and Lay Assessor. Catherine Darlington, Business Manager, said "The whole team are delighted with this prestigious award and look forward to continuing improving and refining our systems and services".
