Hillton is the name of our Primary Care Network which is an organisation that came together in July 2019.
The name is derived from the two locations of the three Practices that make up Hillton. These are Houghton Close Surgery and Greensands Surgery both in Ampthill and Dr SP Hughes and Partners in Barton-Le-Clay. Hence – ‘‘Hill’ from Ampthill and ‘ton’ from Barton.
Although we only became Hillton in July we have been working together as Practices under West Mid Beds Locality for more than 12 years. We all have the same ethos and beliefs and strive to provide the best medical care we can to our patients. The total population of Hillton is 32,000.
Our Clinical Lead is Dr Anu Narayanan.
