Blackthorn pioneered patient- centred care as early as the 1980’s, blending conventional medicine with anthroposophic care and with social therapies. From our NHS practice a therapeutic social prescribing facility developed (the Blackthorn Trust Garden and Cafe) helping patients with chronic illness to regain control over their health and life and find ways back to work ( see www.blackthorn.org.uk) . The Blackthorn Trust runs an innovative lifestyle changing Type 2 Diabetes research project (DWELL) in 2020 and continues to run a chronic pain programme.
The practice achieves top QOF targets, has a ‘good’ CQC rating and performs strongly on prescribing with for instance one of the lowest rates of antibiotic prescribing in the ICB.
