New Patient Registrations

Welcome to Pathfields Medical Group

At Pathfields, we are more than just a GP surgery. We are a community-focused medical group serving patients across Plymouth, providing care that is personal, accessible, and shaped around your needs.

With six sites across the city, you can register at any location and access care wherever suits you best. We’re always delighted to welcome new patients to the Pathfields community.

Putting Patients First

Our priority is to provide excellent everyday healthcare. We work in partnership with you to help you stay well, not just treat you when you are unwell.

What We Care About

  • Supporting long-term conditions – proactive care for people living with diabetes, asthma, heart disease, mental health conditions and more, helping you manage your health and improve your quality of life.

  • Focusing on population health – looking at the bigger picture, supporting not just individuals but whole communities to live healthier lives.

  • Tackling health inequalities – as a recognised Deep End practice, we are committed to addressing the extra challenges faced by patients in more deprived areas, making sure everyone has access to the care they need.

  • Caring for frailty and older adults – providing personalised care plans that promote independence, dignity and wellbeing.

  • Everyday care, close to home – from minor illness to preventive health, our dedicated team is here for you and your family.

Working Together for Better Outcomes

We don’t work alone. Pathfields is part of the wider Plymouth health and care system, collaborating with hospitals, community teams, mental health services, social care, and voluntary organisations.

By working with our system partners, we can join up care, reduce delays, and deliver better outcomes for our patients and communities.

Our Team’s Focus at Pathfields

  • Experienced doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals who put patients at the heart of everything we do.

  • Strong partnerships with hospitals, community services, and voluntary organisations to provide joined-up care.

  • A commitment to innovation and digital healthcare, making it easier to access the help you need when you need it.
