About us

Downend Health Group was formed in 2018 due to the merger of two well-established practices located in the suburbs of Bristol. The surgery operates from two purpose-built premises located less than a mile apart.

As one of the largest teaching GP Practices in Bristol, Downend Health Group (DHG) cares for over 27,000 patients and this number continues to rise each year.

This excellent facility offers patients a family-friendly service with efficient and easy access to a highly trained team of health care professionals. The medical team comprises 11 Partners (9 GPs and 2 Pharmacists), over 20 Salaried GPs, Clinical Pharmacists, Paramedics, and a dedicated team of Nurses and Healthcare Assistants. We are supported by our experienced Care Co-ordinator Team, Medicines Management Team, Administration Team and Reception Team who provide excellent support both front of house and behind the scenes.

The surgery provides modern healthcare services and both buildings offer a calm, welcoming environment for patients, with enhanced and pleasant working conditions for clinicians and staff.

We use EMIS Web and electronic prescribing. We also use Docman scanning software to allow efficient scanning and letter management across both sites.
