We aim to provide the highest quality medical care to patients over a wide geographical area, with a large and dedicated team of health professionals.

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.
We are here to help patients, however, please be reminded that we have a Zero Tolerance policy against any physical or verbal abuse against a GP or any staff member.
Serving You
Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.
Partners in Care
Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice offering are always heading in the same direction.

All clinical rooms in our surgery are readily accessible to patients in wheelchairs and the patients’ toilets are designed to accommodate those with disabilities. Please ask for any assistance you may need.
