About Salford Medical Centre
Rooted in Salford. Focused on the future.
More than 50 years of local general practice, combining trusted relationships and community knowledge with accessible, modern and continuously improving NHS care.
Who we are
Salford Medical Centre is a long-established NHS GP practice based on Langworthy Road. We care for people and families across our diverse community through every stage of life.
Today, we work as one organisation across Salford Medical Centre and The Quays Practice. Patients benefit from a shared multidisciplinary team, a broader range of healthcare professionals and closer working with local NHS, community and voluntary-sector partners.
Our story
Our history is one of continuity and careful evolution—keeping the personal values of traditional general practice while responding to the changing needs of Salford.
More than five decades
Salford Medical Centre develops deep roots on Langworthy Road, caring for generations of local patients and families.
A growing organisation
In 2021, The Quays Practice became part of Salford Medical Centre, bringing together established experience and a newer practice serving the growing Quays community.
Our practice today
Two connected sites, a wider multidisciplinary team, digital and traditional routes to care, and an ongoing commitment to quality, access and patient experience.
Our vision
To provide trusted, compassionate and forward-looking primary care at the heart of Salford—where patients feel heard, staff are supported and everyone has a fair opportunity to achieve better health.
Our commitments to patients
These commitments guide how we plan, deliver, review and improve our services.
Safe and effective
We use evidence-based care, clear clinical governance, safeguarding, appropriate risk management and learning from significant events.
Caring and person-centred
We listen, explain choices clearly and involve patients in decisions, while respecting dignity, privacy, culture and individual needs.
Accessible and inclusive
We offer different ways to contact us, work to reduce barriers and make reasonable adjustments for communication, disability and other needs.
Responsive and improving
We review access, outcomes and patient experience, using feedback, complaints, audit and quality-improvement work to make care better.
The values behind our care
Leadership and accountability
Led with purpose
The practice is led by Dr Ramzan Salim alongside a multidisciplinary clinical and management team.
Our leadership approach is open, accountable and focused on creating the conditions for safe, compassionate and high-quality care for patients—and a supportive environment in which staff can do their best work.
Clear governance
Defined responsibilities, regular clinical and operational meetings, risk review, safeguarding oversight and appropriate escalation.
A learning culture
Training, supervision, reflective practice, audit and quality-improvement activity help us learn and develop as a team.
Patient involvement
Feedback, complaints and patient-group involvement are welcomed and used to inform service development.
Working together for Salford
Our two practices
Salford Medical Centre and The Quays Practice share experience, clinical leadership and healthcare professionals, helping us provide more joined-up care across both sites.
Our wider community
As part of Salford South East Primary Care Network, we work with neighbouring practices and local partners to improve access, prevention and support closer to home.

We want patients to understand how their practice works and to have a meaningful voice in its development. Explore our services, join our Patient Participation Group or tell us about your experience.
