Welcome to Wellspring Medical Practice

This practice was originally established in 1957. We are a teaching practice, and as such aim to provide high quality healthcare to our 6,000 patients in the north west of the city. Our doctors, nurses and all our other staff are dedicated to offering a professional service and this surgery website will help us to keep all our patients up to date with news and information about our practice. We will keep it current with any developments or other details that we feel are relevant to you.

Behaviour

We are working hard under a huge strain in the NHS to provide the best possible care for our patients, please be patient and understanding during these times. The Practice takes it very seriously if a member of staff is treated in an abusive or violent way. All our staff aim to be polite, helpful, and sensitive to all patients’ individual needs and circumstances. Aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated and will be dealt with appropriately.

 All calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes.
