Overview of Victor Street
We serve a community of 12,200 people in the West of Southampton in an urban area, and pride ourselves in delivering patient-first care alongside ambitious and innovative clinical and strategic leadership. We drive changes from the front: we have a Clinical Director for our PCN, a GP trainer, an LMC rep, and a non-clinical Partner shaping strategy and development.
Our clinical team consists of 6 GPs, 2 Advanced Nurse Practitioners?who deliver a mix of same day and?long-term?condition care, and do our acute home visits,?and an excellent Practice Nursing Team who take the lead on managing long term conditions.
Our team play a vital role in delivering a 'healthy Southampton for all' by 'providing the best possible quality service for our patients within a confidential and safe environment by working together.'
We do this by cultivating an environment where we can each:
Be Healthy
We understand the fundamental importance of health and wellbeing, both as individuals and as a group. Optimal health is a collective effort, and through close support and teamwork, we aim to create a working environment where every member of the team is as healthy as they can be.
Be Ambitious
We are committed to developing and realising our own potential and the potential of others. Every day, we bring an enthusiasm and determination to evolve, both professionally and personally. We come to work with a strong conviction that as a team we can achieve excellent results.
Be Collaborative
We believe that teamwork is essential. Every member of our team is valued, both for the attributes they bring to the job and for who they are as a person. Beyond our team, we are dedicated to our patients and the wider community, collaborating to create a healthier Southampton for everyone.
Be Open
We work in a transparent, inclusive environment in which we seek out and encourage alternative perspectives. From fellow team members to our patients and the wider community, we treat everyone with empathy and respect, taking an honest, non-judgemental approach to every interaction.
This work does require sacrifice, and sometimes we find ourselves in at the deep end, but our team know how to provide support ensuring you can go home with a clear mind. After all, before we can provide care and support for others, we each need to be healthy ourselves.
If you want to see transformation that improves lives city-wide, you can do that work here.
