About your practice
The practice has always tried to be at the forefront of development in care.
At the beginning of the 1990s, when GP fund holding was introduced,
we were three separate practices. All three practices applied for, and were granted first wave fund holding status & the two Ewell practices then joined together under the name of Fitznells Manor Surgery.
Later, in 1998 fund holding was replaced by a new scheme called a Personal Medical Services pilot, and it was this which finally brought Fitznells Manor Surgery & The Old Cottage Hospital Surgery together as a single practice called the Integrated Care Partnership. This allowed us to retain & develop the many extra services we had built up during the fund holding era.
The ICP is now a large organisation of 14 partners, a considerable number of other staff & other attached professionals. We look after 28,000 patients over the Epsom & Ewell sites & can cater for the vast majority of their needs ‘ in house ‘ without reference to hospitals elsewhere. We are also involved in teaching medical students, future GPs in training & a range of other health care professionals.
Our nurses have developed a wide range of special skills & contribute a vital role to the care the practice is able to provide.
Partners are based at The Old Cottage Hospital & Fitznells Manor sites but increasingly there is working between sites as not all services are provided at each site. Patients will need to move between sites for certain aspects of care. The practice has an integrated management & IT system so records are available no matter where patients are seen.
In April 2008, ICP took over Dr. Francis Silva’s practices ( the Longmead Surgery & Kingston Road Surgery ) when he retired, along with the care of his 2,300 patients.
Our aim is to provide you with a range of health related services that are both extensive in scope and of the highest quality.
