Who else you might see at our practice?

Alongside GPs and nurses, there are a number of other healthcare professionals that support our patients at the practice. They help us proactively address your health needs and increase your access to Primary Care. These roles form what is known as the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) which was introduced into the NHS in 2019. You can read more about AARS here.

GP Earnings

All GP practices are required to declare mean earnings (ie average pay) for GP’s working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in the practice of Paddington Green Health Centre in the last financial year 2018-19 was £46,709 before tax and National Insurance.

This is for 1 full time GP, 8 part time GPs and 2 Locum GPs, who have worked in the practice for more than six months.

Care Quality Commission

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) makes sure hospitals, care homes, dental and GP surgeries plus all other care services in England provide people with safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality care, and encourage them to make improvements where possible. 

They do this by inspecting services and publishing the results on their website: www.cqc.org.uk 

You can use the results to help you make better decisions about the care you, or someone you care for, receives. 

Our practice is inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to ensure we are meeting essential standards of quality and safety. Our last review was the 12th June 2019 – You can view the outcome of the visit here. 

Integrated Care System

This practice is part of North West London Intergrated Care System

NWL ICS is the organisation responsible for planning and buying (commissioning) health services for the people living in Westminster. 

We are made up of 35 GP practices that serve a registered patient population of 190,000. We are committed to improving the care provided to patients, reducing health inequalities and raising the quality and standards of GP practices whilst achieving a financial balance. 

The ICS is overseen by NHS England which makes sure we have the capacity and capability to commission services successfully and to meet our financial responsibilities. 

Suggestions, Comments and Complaints 

We make every effort to give the best service possible to everyone who attends our practice. 

However, we are aware that things can go wrong and if this happens we would like to put things right as quickly as possible. Simply contact the Practice Manager, Siobhan Browne, and she will set all the necessary wheels in motion. 

Siobhan also holds a feedback session every Monday with patients, this can be about anything positive or negative that you would like to feedback or discuss. Siobhan is happy to meet with you either face to face or by telephone. Please call reception on 0207 887 1600 if you would like to arrange an appointment with Siobhan. 

Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated. 

We regularly reflect on feedback and continually strive to improve our services.
