If you need an examination, your Clinician will organise this after speaking with you.

Please don't phone reception unless you are unable to use eConsult. This helps our reception team prioritise those that can only use phones. The phones are answered from 8am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday.

Fit notes (previously known as sick notes)

By law medical evidence is not required for the first 7 days of sickness. Fit notes will not be given for absenses of less than 7 days.

After 7 days it is for your employer to determine what evidence they require if any, from you. This does not always need to be a fit note  from a GP. You are legally entitled to return to work before a fit not ends without any documentation from the doctor.

If you are advised to self isolate by NHS 111 or a Clinician you can do this yourself at https://111.nhs.uk/isolation-note/


Our doctors, nurses and staff look forward to helping you and your family. 

We have been serving our community from this modern purpose built surgery since April 1997.

We also have a pharmacy on site with skilled pharmacists who can give advise on a range of conditions and treatments.

We offer a range of specialist clinics including Diabetes, Asthma, COPD, Coronary Heart Disease, Smoking Cessation, Hypertension, Physiotherapy, Family Planning including coil fitting and Implants, travel clinics.  

We also have convenient ultrasound and vasectomy clinics provided on site by other providers.

We are an advanced training and teaching practice and are a hub for local medical education. At any one time there are between 2 and 5 experienced doctors who are training to become General Practitioners working with us. They train with us for periods ranging from four months to two years. We also supervise nurses and junior doctors in training who are with us for up to 4 months.
