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 Willow Surgery and Christchurch Family Medical Centre. The Group operates from two purpose-built premises located less than a mile apart and situated close to Page Park, Staple Hill.

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 GPs, clinical pharmacists, paramedics, nurses and phlebotomists.

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. The GPs are enthusiastic about the capacity their premises provide as they can offer services to the wider community, including acupuncture, physiotherapy, and counselling.

Currently, we provide extended hour surgeries 7.15am to 6.45pm from Monday to Friday. We are currently closed on a Saturday and Sunday, but this could change in the future.

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