The Osmaston Surgery is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as a partnership. The practice is part of the NHS Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group. The practice holds a General Medical Services (GMS) contract with NHS England. A GMS contract is a contract between NHS England and general practices for delivering general medical services and is the commonest form of GP contract.

The practice operates from The Osmaston Surgery, 212 Osmaston Road, Derby, DE23 8JX.

There are approximately 15,200 patients of various ages registered and cared for at the practice. Demographically the practice has a lower than average older patient distribution when compared with the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and national averages. For example, 15% of the practice population are 65 years and older compared with the CCG average of 18% and the national average of 17%. The percentage of patients with a long-standing health condition is 58%, which is higher than the local CCG average of 53% and national average of 54%. The practice provides GP services in an area considered as one of the most deprived within its locality. Deprivation covers a broad range of issues and refers to unmet needs caused by a lack of resources of all kinds, not just financial.

The staffing consists of:

• Nine GP partners (six male and 2 female) and three associate GPs (one female salaried and two male long term locums).
• A nursing team consisting of five practice nurses (from July 2018), including one nurse who specialised in women’s health and a part time phlebotomist.
• A practice pharmacist.
• A management team which included a business service manager, a clinical service manager, assistant clinical service manager, practice administrators and reception staff.
• A care co-ordinator (employed by the clinical commissioning group) for social prescribing signposting patients and relatives to appropriate services.

Telephone consultations are available to suit the needs of the patient. Cover to patients in the out-of-hours period is provided by Derbyshire Health United, by calling NHS 111.

The practice offers a range of services for example, management of long term conditions such as diabetes, contraceptive advice, immunisations for children and travel vaccinations. Further details can be found by accessing the practice’s website at .
