Beacon Medical Group is a formal merger of three GP practices in Plymouth and South Devon. Formerly Ivybridge Medical Practice, Ridgeway Practice and PlymRiver Practice; the group currently has four main sites at Plympton, Chaddlewood, Ivybridge and Wotter. The group currently serves 33,000 patients. From the outset there is a clear ambition among founding partners to build a strong and sustainable health care service that improves outcomes for patients, provides opportunities for innovation in a rapidly changing environment and crucially provides a sustainable operating base for the future.
