Our Vision
To be a trusted Primary Care Service offering innovative, patient centred quality care to people to support their health and social care needs throughout life.
To provide a rewarding place to work in a supportive multidisciplinary team with a healthy work / life balance for staff working in the organisation.
Our Principles
Staffa Health is a primary care team; that means we are the first point of contact for when you need health care.
We understand how important it is for our patients, their families and carers to know that their GP surgery can give them the support they need when they need it.
We aim to give you the care, treatment and advice and information you need to achieve and maintain better health using all of the resources available to us.
Our Aims and objectives
1. To provide quality primary care treatment to our patient population in the community and avoiding hospital admissions where appropriate
2. To focus on prevention of disease by promoting self-care, providing lifestyle information and offering opportunities for signposting to support people make healthy lifestyle choices
3. To understand and meet the needs of our patients, involve them in decision making about their treatment and care and encourage them to participate fully.
4. To involve other professionals in the care of our patients where it is in the patients best interests, i.e. referrals for specialist care , specialist community services, joint working with social services and voluntary agencies
5. To ensure that all members of the team have the right skills and training to carry out their duties competently and to create an educational environment, where staff promote and share learning amongst themselves, doctors in training and all members of the team
6. To listen to the views of patients using patient satisfaction surveys, complaints reviews and meetings with our patient group and use this feedback to work with patients make changes and evolve the service
7. To work in collaboration with Derby and Derbyshire ICB and South Derbyshire Primary Care Network to benchmark and audit our services and ensure the appropriate commissioning of services for our patient population

Integrated Care System
Staffa Health is a member of the Joined Up Care Derbyshire Integrated Care System.
This organisation brings together health and social care organisations across Derbyshire to work more closely together than ever before. Health and social care organisations in Derbyshire have been working closely together for some time, to improve care and services for people and make them as efficient and effective as possible. ICSs become legally constituted organisations, with effect from July 2022, incorporating the roles of Clinical Commissioning Groups and have legal duties of partnership and collaboration across NHS providers and some local authority services. The ambition is to provide the best care and services for people and make them as efficient and effective as possible.
Primary Care Network
Staffa health are also a member of the South Hardwick Primary Care Network.
Primary Care Networks are groups of GP Practices based around a GP registered list of approximately 30,000 – 50,000 patients. By bringing practices together we can offer care on a scale which is small enough for patients to get the continuous and personalised care they value, but large enough to be resilient, through the sharing of workforce, administration and other functions of general practice.
The benefits of these services working together are:
· Longer opening hours
· Sharing staff
· Better access to specialist health professionals
· Services closer to home
· Ability to share information and technology
Our Primary Care Network is a group of 9 practices. Each Primary Care Network must appoint a Clinical Director (CD) as its named, accountable leader, responsible for delivery. Our Clinical Director is Dr Dan Stinton.
