About us
Carn to Coast Health Centres is an 11-Partner Cornish GP Practice serving over 30,000 patients. We have a main surgery in Pool and branch surgeries in Illogan, Camborne and St Day.
Our Practice has historically been at the forefront in establishing a highly skill-mixed approach which includes includes paramedics, mental health staff, clinical pharmacists and technicians, care co-ordination and physiotherapy, all supported by a substantial administrative team, whose role includes processing clinical correspondence and workflow (through Docman).
Our catchment is broad with urban, rural and semi-rural elements including areas of deprivation which we seek to engage as part of a programme of population health management so that continuity of care is assured where it is most needed.
Notwithstanding the relatively large size of the practice, our ethos remains friendly, supportive and very informal in style. We look to everyone to make a contribution and be heard and are always looking at ways to improve and provide scope for advancement at all levels. (Our partnership already includes three partners who are not doctors.) We have regular team meetings and have a strong emphasis on teamwork across the organisation, regardless of role and seniority. We are confident that the innovative model we have developed and continue to refine is well suited to meet those challenges going forward and to embrace the increasing role of primary care networks within the system.

About the company
National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
