This website tells you
about the practice and the services we offer.
The practice was established in
1976 with one general practitioner. By 1982, the practice had grown to four general
practitioners with approximately 6,000 patients and moved into the purpose-built
health centre we are in today. The practice currently has eight partners, one salaried general practitioner, one retainee and one GP Registrar. Our practice population is around 11,300.
The doctors practise together
as a non-limited partnership.
The
practice would like to extend a special thanks to
Miss Rebecca Smith (aged 12), who designed
the image above.
