About Whitecliff Practice

The Whitecliff Group Practice operates from surgeries in Blandford and Child Okeford. The Practice covers an area of about 180 square miles, extending about five and a half miles in all directions from both the Blandford and Child Okeford surgeries. In May 2008 there were 16199 patients registered at the Practice.

 The practice has a local Personal Medical Services contract with North Dorset Primary Care Trust to provide general medical services for the area of Blandford Forum and the surrounding villages. It is also closely involved with Blandford Community Hospital, and acts as Medical Officers to several local schools and businesses. The Practice is a training practice and we are joined by students from Bristol, Southampton and London Medical Schools as well as Doctors at various stages of their postgraduate training.

A friendly and professional team of 20 doctors and nurses provide a wide range of general and specialised medical services including minor and intermediate surgery, sports medicine, child and women's health, travel medicine, and a wide range of examinations such as insurance, occupational and HGV medicals. We are a recognised centre for Civil Aviation Authority medicals and Yellow Fever vaccination.

"The primary task of our practice is to deliver a recognised high quality of medical care to the patients in our practice area. In addition, we will work to ensure a secure future for the medical services in Blandford. To these ends, we aim to build and maintain an efficiently functioning Primary Health Care Team with high morale."

In 2008 we are delighted to have achieved a quality score of 96.6% - click here for more detailed information.
