Story

Welcome to The Family Practice, Western College. We are a well-established, progressive general practice that has been serving northwest Bristol for over 70 years. We offer a comprehensive range of primary care services to our list size of over 12,000 registered patients.

We work as a team of dedicated professionals to provide personalised healthcare of the highest standard to our patient group, which has consequently risen in size by over 20% in the last four years. We consistently achieve high patient satisfaction on patient surveys, well above national and local averages

This work has recently been recognised by the Royal College of General Practitioners via their Quality Practice Award (QPA)

QPA is a quality assurance process undertaken by practices, which recognises a high standard of quality patient care delivered by every member of the practice team. At the time of writing, The Family Practice is one of only 18 practices in England to achieve this status twice.

Additionally, we have a strong commitment to the continued professional development of our practice members and have been a training practice for general practitioners for over 30 years.

The range of NHS services offered includes acute and chronic care, contraception, minor surgery, vaccination, screening, maternity care and child health surveillance.

Many of our patients come from overseas and our staff are fluent in many languages. Our team of doctors are able to offer consultations in German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Welsh, Catalan, Hindi and Urdu where required.
