We communicate effectively with our patients, healthcare colleagues and other members of the community care team. We work to build and maintain trusting relationships with our patients, healthcare colleagues and other members of the community care team. Professional medical standards are regulated by the General Medical Council and the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
The foundation of providing a professional, high quality service is listening to our patients and respecting their choices. We do this in an empathetic, confidential and non- judgemental environment. We will provide an equitable and high quality service that puts the welfare of all of our patients at the heart of what we do.

The Centre houses a number of community services including health visiting, district nursing, and a community psychiatric nurse.
Features of the building include wheel chair access, toilet facilities for the disabled and lift access to the first floor.
Sorry, but the car park is for staff use only.
Nearby street parking is available but can be severely restricted by other users in the area, so please arrive in good time to find a parking place.

Why does my appointment card say 11:21 when I've been told the Open Surgery is at 11:15am?.
Presently the practice does not have the staffing resources that it would need to monitor and deal with the emails that would come through a generic email address, while still trying to maintain the high standards we set ourselves to communicate with patients on the phone and coming through the front door.
Inevitably the address would also be used to request clinical advice from our doctors and nurses, which we would be unwilling to give without being able to conduct a proper consultation in person, or over the phone.
