It is our intention that our traditional family style of General Practice, first established in 1948 will continue in our purpose built surgery which has been designed and constructed for the care and welfare of our patients.

There are seven family docotrs that work in partnership at the surgery and as a Training Practice, we usually have a GP Registrar and sometimes Medical Students. You may see any doctor if your own doctor is not available but it is preferred that you keep to the doctor of your choice to assist with continuity of care.
Our Clinical Team includes, Practice Nurses, District Nurses, Health Visitors, Physiotherapists and a Counsellor.

The Practice Manager is Melva Clifford who is responsible for the running of the Practice and is available during normal office hours to discuss any suggestions, which may help to improve our service to you. In her absence the Assistant Practice Manager, Mags New is available to assist you. We have a skilled team of reception and administrative staff, headed by our Reception Supervisor Anne Clark, who will be your link with the medical and nursing staff at the surgery. They work hard making appointments, home visits, organising repeat prescriptions, assisting with any queries that you may have and dealing with correspondence to and from other agencies.
