About Us
Herefordshire General Practice (HGP) is a collaboration of GP providers who work together to enable a stronger, independent General Practice for the future.
HGP comprises 19 GP surgeries based in five Primary Care Networks, the Local Medical Committee and the GP Federation, Taurus Healthcare Ltd. Together we provide high-quality care to over 190,000 people across Herefordshire.
Taurus Healthcare (the GP Federation of which all 19 Herefordshire practices and Tenbury Wells Surgery are members) was established in 2012. Taurus Healthcare is a limited company but we don’t pay dividends to our shareholders (who are the GP practices). Any surplus is reinvested into providing improved healthcare for the people of Herefordshire, now and for the future.
HGP aims to offer 24/7 patient care in the right place with the right professional at the right time. We do this through traditional in-hours GP surgery-led care together with additional services provided by the Federation, For example, scheduled weekend and evening appointments at 10 hubs located throughout the county, an innovative remote consultation service called Herefordshire Remote Health and the GP Out of Hours service.
Taurus also supports practices with additional clinical services, for example Covid-19 vaccinations and boosters and a specialist Acute Respiratory Infection Hub (winter 2022-23).
We are also keen to support patients' health and wellbeing, including through our Talk Wellbeing hubs and drop in centres. You can find out more about this work on the Health and Wellbeing section of this website.
We use an electronic patient record service called EMIS throughout Herefordshire General Practice. This enables continuity of care as all health practitioners can access and update your records.
Herefordshire General Practice is an exciting and innovative place to be. We are passionate about General Practice and are dedicated to working together with system partners (the local hospital, local authority, NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire, community and voluntary sector organisations). This ensures a joined up approach to health and care in the county with the aim of providing the best possible service for our patients.
