With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

Get Well, Keep Well

Of course we’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff offer a number of clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing whatever your medical condition.

Access

The health centre is a single storey building and provides easy access for disabled or elderly patients. There are 2 disabled parking spaces at the front of the health centre. A toilet suitable for wheelchair access is also available.

Letters of Support

We no longer do "letters of support".

The reasons for this are:

  •                            There is no need
  •                            There is no advantage
  •                            GPs workload does not allow for them
  •                            The contract under which GPs work, means they are under no obligation at all                               regards such requests.

We understand some may be disappointed with this. Nonetheless it is an ESSENTIAL move to ensure we continue to meet our primary function

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new law that determines how your personal data is processed and kept safe, and the legal rights that you have in relation to your own data.

The regulation applies from 25th May 2018 and will apply even after the UK leaves the EU.
