This includes a clinical support team (CST) who oversee our delivery of local and national targets. CST also undertake most of the processing of clinical correspondence and work to minimise the admin burden on GPs.

About us

St Martins is a single-site practice, based in a modern purpose-built surgery on Chapeltown Road and caring for a patient list of about 7,500. We are an advanced training practice, hosting trainee GPs, FY2s and medical students, and we have a particular focus on addressing health inequalities whilst caring for a diverse population. We work with Forward Leeds and St Annes, delivering specific services relating to substance misuse.

We are members of the Chapeltown Primary Care Network (PCN), which serves a population of 27,000. The PCN has successfully secured a range of funding, including for a Fit Note Project, and is a pilot site for neighbourhood working. We are in the process of bringing extended access services in-house. We have an allocated paramedic who provides home visits, as well as a strong pharmacy team, first contact physiotherapists, and a health & wellbeing team.

Within St Martins we operate a total triage model using SystmOne, and we have actively developed the skills of our non-clinical care navigators, to target resources as effectively as possible. Whilst we face the same demand pressures as every practice, we regularly receive excellent patient feedback, with 92% of responses rating us as good or very good in May 2026.
