The Practice
Philosophy
'We aim to work in
partnership with you to provide excellent holistic care that is
responsive to your needs. Together we can work towards promoting
optimal health by making best use of the resources available. The mission of the surgery is to promote health, prevent disease where
possible, give best treatment to illness as they present and treat
patients confidentially and with courtesy.
About Us
Westcroft Health Centre
was established in 1999 by Dr. Rowena Liesching
to
meet the health needs of a rapidly expanding population in the western
area of Milton Keynes.
Dr.
Ahmad joined the practice in January 2001, Dr.
Malik in 2004, Dr. Iqbal in 2005, Dr. Alifoe in 2006 and Dr. Patel in
2007.
The
practice population is growing at the rate of about 1200 patients per
year and it is projected that there will eventually be seven GPs
providing medical services for 14,000 patients. The Doctors, Practice
Team and Community Team work closely together to provide a high
quality service that is sensitive to patient needs.
The
practice moved in March 2002
from
its original porta-cabins to new purpose built premises in Savill
Lane. The practice consulting rooms are
situated on the ground floor with
excellent
waiting room facilities
which include a play and pram park
area. We are
fully equipped with
facilities for the disabled. Community Nursing Staff and the Community
Mental Health Teams are located on the first floor which has lift
and stair access.
We are approved as a practice for the
local GP vocational training scheme since June 2000. We practice a
high standard of clinical care and offer chronic disease management programmes.
We maintain a high percentage of
fully summarised notes, and 'paper light' practice using EMIS PCS.
Our
involvement in the Primary Care Collaborative,
stimulated improvement in our care of ischemic heart disease
patients, in keeping with the NSF guidelines on coronary heart
disease. It has also encouraged us to review patient access times and
look at patient satisfaction with our services.
Practice Area

practice accepts registrations from patients living in
Westcroft,
Tattenhoe, Tattenhoe Park, Shenley Brook End,
