General Practice
Our core general practice services provide comprehensive primary healthcare through routine consultations, preventative care, and chronic condition management. Patients access care from experienced GPs with specialisms in diabetes, musculoskeletal medicine, and sports injuries. The service supports over 5,000 registered patients across South Somerset with both scheduled appointments and urgent care triage.
Out of Hours Care
Urgent medical assistance operates beyond standard hours through NHS 111, available evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. This service connects patients with appropriate care pathways including telephone consultations, local urgent treatment centres, or emergency department referrals. Dedicated support exists for children under five requiring immediate medical attention.
Health Coaching
Personalised health coaching helps patients manage long-term conditions and adopt healthier lifestyles. Our coach specialises in behaviour change strategies for weight management, physical activity, and chronic disease prevention. Sessions focus on building self-management skills while coordinating care with clinical teams to ensure holistic patient support.
Maternity Services
Community-based maternity care includes antenatal classes, parentcraft sessions, and specialist midwifery support. The Cedar Team Midwives provide comprehensive pregnancy care covering antenatal clinics, birth planning, and postnatal follow-up. Patients access services at dedicated maternity units in local hospitals while maintaining continuity with their primary care team.
Chronic Disease Management
Specialist clinics address diabetes care, hypertension management, and respiratory conditions through regular monitoring and tailored treatment plans. Our PCN pharmacist collaborates with GPs to optimise medication regimes while practice nurses conduct routine checks for cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose levels. The service integrates with community health teams for comprehensive patient support.
