What we do at Clock Tower Surgery
The Clock Tower Surgery caters exclusively for Exeter’s homeless and vulnerably housed. It is located within the Co-Lab, where agencies work together to deliver more efficient and streamlined support for their client groups.
Having a GP surgery dedicated to caring for the homeless and vulnerably housed under the same roof as housing, support, mental health, and probation services, as well as a number of other voluntary agencies, has empowered the Clock Tower Surgery to change for the better the lives of some of the city’s most disadvantaged residents.

Your feedback helps make care better
The Care Quality Commission (CQC), a body that regulates health and social care in England, uses what people tell them to understand the quality of care they get from services like care homes, care agencies, hospitals and GPs. It helps make care better for everybody.
