The Adam Practice
The Adam Practice is located on the sunny south coast of the UK in Poole, Dorset. It’s within easy reach of beautiful countryside, ancient castles and the second largest natural harbour in the world. Poole and the adjacent town of Bournemouth make up a vibrant scene with a range of beach side restaurants and award- winning coastlines home to the famous Jurassic Coast. We operate across 4 sites in Poole, Upton, Hamworthy and Lytchett Matravers and care for a patient list size of 34,000. There are 16 GP partners and 5 salaried GPs. All 4 of our sites are training practices and the practice accommodates medical students, student nurses and GP trainees. Our GPs have support from a variety of clinical colleagues including a Clinical Pharmacist, Nurse Practitioners and Practice Nurses working across our sites. We are also an accredited Research Centre and we were recently awarded an Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.
During a placement with The Adam Practice, St George’s Students will experience a wide range of conditions presented in primary care. There is a dedicated GP Lead and Deputy on each site. We offer specialist clinics including Minor Ops, Vasectomy, Paediatrics, Allergy and Travel which students have the opportunity to sit in with as well as going on home visits to see patients in the community.
