Compass Medical Practice is a GP practice for thosewho are difficult to manage in mainstream practice. Patients are either consulted via telephone/ video link or face to face. When a face-to-face appointment is required, a risk assessment is undertaken to assess what support the clinician requires. Consultations are supported with the use of patient liaison officers and consultations are carried out in our mobile clinic van orin an agreed prebooked venue.

Compass Medical Practice also provides medical coverto temporary patients residing at Thornton House. These are short term patients that are residing at Thornton house for either rehab, rest or recouperation. Thereis a weekly ward round and multidisciplinary team meeting. Compass Medical practice also offers medical support throughout the week, outside of the wardround, during opening hours.
