About us
We are in Fairford - a small Rural town in Gloucestershire, close to the Oxfordshire and Wiltshire borders.
We are a friendly supportive team of around 35 people.
Hilary Cottage Surgery has been a part of the Fairford community for many years - currently run by 3 GP partners.
We are a small rural practice with around 7800 patients on our books. We have 7 amazing GPs, a bunch of amazing receptionists, a brilliant dispensing team supported by our super pharmacists. Our admin team are fabulous, and there aren't enough superlatives to describe our incredible nurse team.
If you're not in Fairford, you would enjoy a short rural drive to and from the surgery - and if you are local you can walk to work.
With a focus on everyone's well-being at work, we are supportive and friendly from top to bottom, and (we think) a great place to work!

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.
