Victoria Road Surgery sets measurable standards that take into account our responsibility for delivering national and local priorities in health care. These standards are reviewed regularly and we monitor our performance against the standards set by clinical audits.

The Practice Aim

This Practice believes in encouraging a culture of consideration; consideration of our patients, their health, their future and the Practice staff that will determine the direction by converting strategic vision into operational reality.

• We will treat everyone as an individual, with no discrimination.
• This means we plan care, which emphasises the patient’s individual needs, dignity and strict confidentiality.
• Advice and information will be available in order to help our patients make the right choices.

Practice History

Victoria Road Surgery has been an established GP Practice since 1958. The Practice currently provides general medical services to around 13800 (December 2017) patients in and around the borough of Worthing.  There are six partners who employ Salaried GP’s,  Nurse Practitioners, Paramedic Practitioners,  A team of Pharmacists,  Practice Nurses,  Health Care Assistants, and administration staff who hold various positions within the Practice.

The Practice currently operates from two sites. The main surgery is at Victoria Road which is a converted Victorian house. These premises are owned by the partners and have been extended in recent years.  The second surgery is based within a 1970’s health centre in Durrington which is rented from the Trust and is shared with two other practices and other ancillary services.

We are a Mindful Employer

Mindful Employer® is a NHS initiative run by Workways, a service of Devon Partnership NHS Trust. Workways supports people with a mental health condition to find or remain in employment. Mindful Employer was developed by employers in Exeter and launched in 2004. Initially intended as a purely local initiative, it has since developed throughout the UK and has been launched abroad. Mindful Employer has been recommended as good practice by the UK government and other national organisations.

Online Patient Forum

We have an online patient forum at myppg.co.uk where patients can discuss issues about our Surgery and leave comments and feedback.
