Danetre Medical Practice

What Danetre Medical Practice does

Danetre Medical Practice is an NHS general practitioner practice located in Daventry, Northamptonshire, England, operating from a modern building adjoining Danetre Hospital (opened September 2006). The practice holds an NHS primary care contract with Northamptonshire ICB and serves registered patients across Daventry and surrounding villages. It employs approximately 18 staff, including ten GPs (one full-time, nine part-time), advanced practitioners, treatment room nurses, healthcare assistants, a clinical pharmacist, a phlebotomist, and a business/research team. The practice delivers a comprehensive primary care portfolio covering GP consultations, minor illness clinics, dedicated chronic disease management for asthma, COPD, diabetes, and heart disease, family planning and contraception, maternity care, vasectomy (Dr Lewis), joint injections, NHS Health Checks for ages 40-74, childhood immunisations, travel health, and cervical screening.

The practice's technology stack is built on NHS-commissioned infrastructure: TPP UK's SystmOnline/SystmConnect for online consultation and triage (implemented for the 2023 NHS 'assessment of need' mandate, transitioned from Anima in March 2025), NHS App integration for self-service appointment booking and repeat prescriptions, the Electronic Prescription Service for direct pharmacy nominations, the Summary Care Record for cross-setting emergency care data, and Swiftqueue for phlebotomy appointment scheduling. The practice is an accredited GP Training Practice (East Midlands Deanery, University of Buckingham medical students) and an award-winning research practice participating in multiple NIHR studies. It forms the Daventry Primary Care Network alongside Abbey House Medical Practice — both rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission — delivering seven national PCN service specifications through a multi-disciplinary team that includes clinical pharmacists, social prescribing link workers, advanced practice physiotherapists, and advanced paramedic practitioners. Enhanced Access appointments are delivered via the DocMed Federation hub on evenings and every third Saturday.

The revenue model is dominated by NHS core commissioning funding (recurring, per-registered-patient weighted capitation plus PCN and enhanced services reimbursement), supplemented by a small but visible non-NHS private services stream charging BMA-suggested-scale fees for pre-employment/sports/HGV medicals, insurance claim forms, prescriptions for medication abroad, private sick notes, and vaccination certificates. Patient acquisition is by NHS registration; appointment access is provided via SystmConnect online triage, telephone, or in-person. The practice is physician-partner owned with no disclosed external investment, holding company, or private equity involvement.
