Description of the location
(The premises and the area around them, access, adaptations, equipment, facilities, suitability for relevant special needs, staffing & qualifications etc)
The Practice
The practice has been established in Kingswinford since the early 1930s. The Doctor at that time is still remembered for carrying out his visits on his pony and trap. The present premises were purpose-built in 1993 and are situated close to the centre of Kingswinford village. With the ever-increasing need to develop “in house” patient services we have extended our premises over the last 8 years. This extension included additional consulting rooms for GP Registrars and medical students, an enlarged administration area and “on site” pharmacy. We continue to recognise that further developments in primary care premises will be needed in the years to come to allow us to continue to progress our service provision to our patients. As part of providing a secure basis for premises development we lease our premises from Assura Property Services who continue to support our need for development. We continue to strive to maintain our current premises to a high standards and in line with Government national standards. We have automatic door access to the front of the building and we are working towards total compliance of DDA and infection control criteria. We have disabled toilet facilities, baby changing facitilities, breast feeding room, child friendly facilities i.e. emergency supply of nappies, bottle warmer etc. We have parking facilities in front of the building, which includes disabled parking. All consulting rooms and clinical facilities are on ground floor level. We have a hearing loop system and access to interpretor services as required.
The Area
We are on the western edge of the West Midlands conurbation. Our practice boundary extends into rural South Staffordshire, only two miles from Shropshire and open countryside to Wales and the coast. We are within reach of the facilities of two cities, and the market towns of Shrewsbury and Worcester. The motorway network is 30 minutes from the practice.
The Patients
We care for approximately 14,500 patients in Kingswinford and surrounding areas. It is predominantly a middle-class suburban population which is fairly evenly spread throughout the age ranges but a higher proportion of elderly patients than other local practices. There is very little deprivation. Our patient list is predominantly made up of white British, with very few ethnic minorities, we have an even split of a male/female patients and have a higher than average elderly population in comparison to other Dudley Practices. As a Practice we look after several care homes providing weekly ward rounds. We also have patients with learning difficulties / mental health needs, who are living within the community, and also provide services to a local mental health residential care home.
