The Practice
|
|
A friendly, efficient, purpose-built Medical Centre in the centre of Sandown on the beautiful Isle of Wight. The primary care team features six doctors with personal lists, each committed to providing the full range of General Medical Services. The team has a strong tradition of innovation, quality prescribing, low referrals and development of numerous in-house services. The medical team is supported by a first-class practice and district nursing team each member of which has developed a special interest and contributes to the multitude of in-house specialist services. The practice is a member of a Level 4 PCT with full access to a single district general hospital in the centre of the Island. The Island is easily accessible from Southampton, Portsmouth and Lymington via ferries taking as little as 20 minutes by foot or 45 minutes by car. The list size of 10,750 featuring 23% over the age of 65, is served out-of-hours by an all-island co-operative (Island Doctors On Call - IDOC) which comprises all 81 GPs on the Island. All the Island health services are co-terminus with social services creating an extremely good working relationship. The Isle of Wight PCT is one of ten such units within the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Strategic Health Authority.

Training at the Practice
|
| I can't think of a better educational environment than Sandown Health Centre on the beautiful Isle of Wight, with a dedicated and inspirational team of clinicians who are involved in a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate education for nursing, professionals allied to medicine and medical trainees. There is a strong tradition of innovation, quality prescribing, numerous in-house services and GPSI's (Minor Surgery, Dermatology, Orthopaedics). Four GPs are actively involved in training with two ST1-3s undergoing specialist training at the surgery at any one time. Sandown health Centre is a three year old purpose built surgery for accommodating GPs, intermediate care, social service and a variety of attached staff. There is an attached pharmacy. The list size is 11,700 with 23% of patients aged over 65 and an all-Island out of hours co-operative. Dr Peter Randall, Dr Hugh Trowell and Dr David Henderson have been actively involved in specialist training with Dr Kirsty Bateman leading on undergraduate education. We feel we can offer every facet of education for specialist training. The demography of the practice in a small community ensures that the registrar will experience every conceivable aspect of general practice. Nearly all registrars have remained on the Isle of Wight and taken up principle posts in general practice after their training with us. The Isle of Wight has so much to offer and is a great place for young families. The Isle of Wight is accessible from Southampton, Portsmouth and Lymington with over 300 crossings per day taking 20-45 minutes. |

Dr Hayley Elsmore says:
Any nerves about coming to see a doctor or other health professional should instantly vanish on entering the Sandown Medical Centre. The reception staff greet you with a ready smile and deal with problems with courtesy and ease that belies the mountain of work that is created by those of us behind the scenes. The team of nurses, doctors and allied professionals use their wide range of expertise to obtain the best possible service for the local community. Each of them is committed to clinical excellence and fortunately for the registrar, they are committed to the further training of newer NHS staff in order that this high standard continues!
