GP Partnership: Our Health Partnership

At Ridgacre Medical Centres we are driven by our desire to work in partnership with our patients in order to offer exceptional healthcare and exceed patient expectations.

We are a group of GP surgeries based in Quinton and Nechells offering a comprehensive range of medical services to the surrounding areas.  Ridgacre House Surgery was established in 1935 and today we still offer that same intimate care.  We have an enviable reputation for consistently providing high-quality care.

We run many clinics for chronic disease care and offer a wide variety of other medical services such as antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations, and well-person check-ups.

In addition to everything you need to know about the practice, you will also find a wealth of health-related information in the menu on the right-hand side. Please have a look around and do send us some feedback if you like.

NHS.uk Ratings and Reviews
As part of the commitment to more personalised care for patients, NHS Employers and the General Practitioners Committee of the British Medical Association have agreed that all patients will have a named accountable GP.

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (i.e. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. The average pay for GPs working at Ridgacre Medical Centre in the last financial year was £49,329 before tax and national insurance. This is for 5 full time GPs and 10-part time GP’s who worked in the practice for more than six months.
