Whole Person Health

Hollinwood Medical Practice has a commitment to provide excellent primary healthcare to our patients, but we are also part of a wider vision of Hope Citadel Healthcare, the organisation behind Hollinwood Medical Practice, to provide additional care to people through what it calls whole person healthcare.

Whole person healthcare looks at people in their wider settings, as whole people, and understanding that good health is not just related to clinical matters but that it is effected by many complex factors, such as social, economic, and community issues, along with belief, family circumstances, employment, etc.

Because of the desire to support people in a more holistic way our model of whole person healthcare involves working with other organisations as Partners in the Community. These Community Partners are organisations who already have experience and expertise in the communities that we will be serving, and who seek to provide a wide range of activities that support the whole person. For example providing parenting classes, employment advice, training, money management, youth clubs and other activities.

Our initial list of lead Partners is not an exclusive or exhaustive group, and over time we seek to build formal partnerships with many organisations.

Hill Top Surgery is extremely pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to the care of our patients, and through them to support the wider communities where they live. As such we seek to become a service which is fully integrated into our local communities.
