The people who will actually be in the room

Six of them run the centre; a hundred and twenty more carry the rounds. Every family on a plan is given one of their names and one of their numbers.

How we work

Three things everybody here is held to

01

Nobody is rushed

A first appointment is forty minutes. A geriatric assessment is ninety. If the clinic runs late because somebody needed longer, that is the system working rather than failing.

02

Everything is written down

One file per patient, and every visit — clinic, ward or sitting room — goes into it the same day. The nurse who arrives on Thursday has read what happened on Monday.

03

Somebody always answers

The line is staffed by a nurse, not a receptionist, and it is answered at two in the morning by somebody who can open the file and tell you what the last reading was.
