About us

At the heart of what we do, is our vision to deliver personalised and high quality patient centred care. In order to achieve this, we strive to be outstanding in all we do and how we do it.

Mount Road Practice, (Previously Dr Robinson & Partners) is a two partner practice (Dr Bhushan Rao and Dr Hannah Bradshaw) with approximately 6565 patients, supported by a welcoming and proactive administrative and clinical team (including one salaried GP, two Nurse Practitioners, two Practice Nurses, a HCSW and a Patient Care Facilitator). Both partners have significant clinical time and are available for advice or support.

We value the opportunities that being a training practice provides to practice clinicians, our patients and trainees. We currently accommodate GP registrars, Foundation Year 2 doctors and a rotation of medical students.
