Grove House Surgery

Grove House Surgery is a partnership based in Salisbury itself. We have two full-time and two three-quarter time partners. The practice has three GP trainers.

Dr Charles Sears is a third generation GP with a strong belief in the art of medicine. He has particular interests in back pain, disability and rehabilitation, asthma and the use of the world wide web in patient and professional education. Dr Sears is a former Council member of the Royal College of General Practitioners.

Dr Robert Hewetson is a local course organiser and examiner for the RCGP membership. His main interests are coronary heart disease and diabetes.

Dr Judith Burns also teaches undergraduates for Southampton University. She is interested in paediatrics and also prescribing.

The trainer has a weekly two-hour protected session with the registrar.

We are a friendly practice, with a well-functioning primary health care team. About twenty percent of our patients come from the lovely surrounding countryside, and the remainder from Salisbury itself. We have a complete the social spectrum of patients, all under the NHS. We believe that the registrar is supernumerary, working in a protected learning environment. It is our aim that, by the time our registrars leave us they are fully able to undertake the workload of a junior partner. The training will be adjusted to suit the requirements of the individual registrar, moving at a pace that is appropriate for them.
