TEAMWORK

Winterton Medical Practice is operated by a team of dedicated health professionals, highly trained staff and an experienced management team.

Patient care is our focus. In delivering high quality care we work with a multiplicity of other agencies - including hospitals, local authority services and in wider partnerships.

Understanding the needs of our patients and listening to their views is a process that we actively embrace, not just in Patient Group meetings - but in every interaction on a daily basis. We operate in an increasingly technological age with new systems and new ways of working.

Whilst we embrace these changes and improvements, we continue to focus on making sure that we do not lose sight of the importance of people. Our patients are the focus of our attention. To the best of our ability, we are here to provide them with good health care and good service.

We know that sometimes pills and treatments can be required, but we also understand the power of a smile and respect for all!

HYMS TEACHING

Working to develop medical students

Winterton Medical Practice works closely with Hull & York Medical School for the training of medical students.

The practice mentors 3rd, 4th and 5th year students. Patients may be asked if students can sit in on GP appointments as part of their learning. 

The practice very much appreciates the support of patients in these cases. Occasionally, patients are asked to attend for consultations with the students as part of their development. 

These are performed with the full support of one of the GP partners who oversee the students and patients in these consultations.

PRACTICE EARNINGS

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in Winterton Medical Practice in the last financial year was £81,551 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 9 part time GP’s who worked in the practice for more than six months.

However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earning is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgment about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.
