About us

We are a friendly practice, offering a supportive and collaborative team environment, where we encourage learning, development and personal growth. Our practice list is about 13,000 patients so small enough for you to know our patients well.

The practice itself is located in close proximity to Daventry Town centre in a modern purpose-built Primary Care Facility (2006) and adjoins Danetre Community Hospital which offers a wide range of in patient and out patient services including x ray.
