About Our Practice
Our Practice consists of two GPs, Nurse, Health Care Assistant, Receptionists and our Practice Manager. The practice respects your right to privacy and we hold your information confidentially and keep secure in keeping with the Data Protection Act. Your information is only available to those involved with your care.
We are, however, sometimes asked for information by Healthcare and Medical Education Monitoring Bodies. This information is subject to the same confidentiality and is anonymous. No one has access to your records outside the practice unless we receive signed consent from you.
We have produced this website to provide you with information about the way the Practice is organised and the services that are provided directly by Practice Staff, or by other members of the Primary Health Care Team. Services will, by necessity, change from time to time, please do not hesitate to telephone the Practice to check the current position.

We will continue to treat all our patients fairly and equally, and with dignity and respect. We will continue to work within the framework of NHS Primary Care Services to provide professional medical, nursing and other services, which meet the identified needs of patients.
Our Vision for our Practice and Locality

Access for the Disabled
Please note that the practice has been especially designed for the disabled and wheel chair users. If you require assistance please inform the reception staff as soon as possible.
Children in the Waiting Room
Children are welcome to bring their own toys and books with them and they should be supervised by the accompanying adult. Unfortunately we cannot have a supply of toys and books because of the Health and Safety and Infection Control restrictions.
Cervical Smear Tests
We recommend that smears are taken every 3 years for those aged between 25 and 50 years old and every 5 years for those aged between 50 and 65 years old (unless you have been advised otherwise). Smear tests are carried out by the Practice Nurse.
Child Immunisations
It is important that your children are fully immunized against all childhood diseases. Please arrange an appointment for your child’s vaccinations.
