Rookery Medical Centre

Our Vision

To provide and promote excellent health care within a caring and efficient environment.

This vision has three core values: Clinical Excellence, Care and Efficiency:

• Clinical Excellence: speaks for itself, and also relates to our strong teaching tradition and aim for excellent management of long term conditions.
• Care:means in a clinical sense but also, just as importantly, the customer service we give to our patients. It also means care for each other, making sure everyone working at the surgery feels supported and encouraged in their role.
• Efficiency: Is about administrative and clinical systems and procedures running smoothly and the appropriate use of NHS resources.

We believe that if we get these core values right it will help us work smoothly as a practice, and develop our services in the right direction. Our aim in all our thinking, planning and doing is for improvement in these three areas (importantly without improvement in one area negatively impacting on the other two).
