Peacock Practice is situated in the commercial area of Carlton to the East of the city of Nottingham and is part of the NHS North and East Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Services are provided under a general medical service (GMS) contract with NHS England.
The practice operates from purpose built premises constructed in 1990. The premises were refurbished by the partners in 2012 as part of their strategic planning for sustainability and improving patient services in the locality. The building has three levels and patient services were mostly provided on the first two levels accessible by a lift and accessible to wheelchair users. There is direct access to the practice by public transport from the surrounding areas. Parking facilities are not available on site but there is public parking on the street. In addition there are two public car parks within a short walk of the surgery. The practice website can be found at
There are approximately 5,600 registered patients, predominantly of white British background. The practice serves a large residential area and the population age demographics and unemployment levels are similar to the national averages. Information published by Public Health England, rates the level of deprivation within the practice population group as five on a scale of one to ten. Level one represents the highest levels of deprivation and level ten the lowest. However, there are pockets of deprivation within the practice catchment area. Male and female life expectancy in the practice geographical area is lower than the national average at 78 years for males, compared to 79 years nationally and is the same as the national life expectancy for females, 83 years. The percentage of patients with a long-term health condition is 54%, the same as the national average.
When the practice is closed, patients are able to access out of hours (provided by NEMs) services by telephoning NHS 111.
The provider changed to be part of the IMH Group in March 2018 (a network of over 50 primary care sites situated nationally that includes GP practices walk-in centres and urgent care centres). The previous partners continue to be employed as salaried staff. Staffing consists of:
- Two salaried GPs (one male and one female) working a combined eight sessions per week.
- Three regular locum GPs working a combined eight sessions per week.
- Three practice nurses (two of which are independent prescribers) and two healthcare assistants.
- A practice pharmacist.
- A practice manager.
- An experienced team of reception/administration staff including a senior receptionist and medical secretary.
The practice is an accredited training practice but has not employed any GP Registrars in the last 12 months due to the absence of the GP trainer.
The practice provides family planning, maternity and midwifery services, treatment of disease, disorder or injury and diagnostic and screening procedures as their regulated activities.
