Welcome

Welcome to our practice website. We aim to provide all of our patients with a comprehensive range of healthcare services covering one-off problems to longer term illnesses. Feel free to explore the site and find out how you and your family can benefit from our personal and professional approach to healthcare provision. 

We are a designated teaching practice for fully trained doctors as well as medical students.

GP Registrar

We usually employ three GP Registrars on either 6 or 12 months’ placements. The Registrars are qualified doctors undergoing further education whilst gaining experience of working in General Practice.

F2 Doctor

The Practice provides teaching placements for hospital doctors (known as F2s) to spend time working in General Practice. They hold their own surgeries and they are supervised by an approved teaching GP.  These placements last for four months.
