A surgery that runs to time

Dr Elin Marsh opened Hollybank in 2011 with one rule: the appointment is not over until the patient has said everything they came to say. Fifteen years on we are three clinicians and a full diagnostic suite in a Victorian house by Wells Walk — and the average wait in our front room last quarter was four minutes. We book fewer appointments than the day could hold, on purpose; the waiting room has armchairs and the day’s papers, and most patients barely get through the headlines.

Why patients keep their NHS GP — and still come here

Most of our patients are not leaving the NHS; they are buying time. Time to be seen today instead of in three weeks, time to talk through the second and third thing on the list, time for a proper examination rather than a referral reflex. We work alongside your NHS practice, write to them with your consent after anything significant, and hand you a clear plan on paper before you leave. You won’t be asked to explain your history from scratch, because the clinician in front of you has already read it.
