About Us

DrPA has been operating in secure environments since 2014 providing General Practitioner services and we are now growing to provide a complete healthcare service at Campfield House IRC by NHS England. This will be delivered directly or through a range of specialist partners who are experts in their field.  We deliver our services based on our ethos of CARE:

Compassionate care that is trauma informed and supportive

Assurance that care is evidence-based & demonstrates high quality outcomes for our patients

Respectful of people’s cultural and religious beliefs

Equitable care that is in line with the community services

Campsfield House Immigration Removal Centre (IRC)

Campsfield House IRC is a secure facility currently designed to accommodate up to 160 male residents in both single and dual occupancy rooms. The centre houses a combination of time-served foreign national offenders and immigration offenders while the Home Office arranges their removal from the UK.

Residents are not permitted to leave the centre or access the local area. Consequently, recreational, educational, healthcare, living, and faith-related facilities are provided entirely onsite.

The healthcare department provides a range of services including primary care, mental health, substance misuse, pharmacy, dental, optometry, physiotherapy, podiatry, and audiology delivered either by us or our specialist partners.

Join us at the beginning…Where possible, this role will be starting before the centre opens. During this period, you will be undertaking your company and centre induction, supporting setting up the department, helping where required, and generally supporting the service to go live as prepared as we can be.
