Welcome to AVENUE HOUSE
SURGERY |
We work from a
central site in Chesterfield looking
after people who live in a wide area
throughout the town. We work as a
team consisting of Doctors, Nurse
Practitioners, Practice Nurses,
Health Visitors, District Nurses,
Midwife, and Administrative Team.
We are privileged to be a Training
Practice and therefore sometimes include in
our team fully qualified Doctors
undergoing special training in
General Practice, working with us
for up to one year. We are a fully
computerised Practice, using
computers in consultations and for
records.
Our Aims as a Medical Practice
We see ourselves as a modern General
Medical Practice that always tries
to stay in the forefront of medical
developments. This requires us to be
constantly changing and responding
to Government and other initiatives.
Our main principle is to provide
high quality medical care to all our
patients. We believe that the
psychological and social problems
that accompany any illness are very
relevant to all medical problems and
so we make every effort to treat the
whole person and not just the
illness. This obviously requires us
to work as a team as mentioned above
in order to be able to offer a
complete package of care.
While we always try and respond to
change, we take very seriously the
traditional values of British
General Practice that are held in
high regard throughout the world,
and the 2 features that we do not
wish to lose from the Practice are:
 |
Continuity of
Care
We therefore try as often as
possible to offer patients
their own individual doctor
that they can see on a high
proportion of their
attendances so that both
doctor and patient get to
know each other.
|
 |
Family
Care
We believe that illness
affects the whole family
and wherever possible
each doctor appreciates
those situations when
more than one member of
the family is registered
with them.
