We welcome constructive suggestions on any improvements we could make, please contact Carol Stewart (Practice Manager) if you have any suggestions.

From 1st March 2026, we are CLOSED for staff training EVERY Thursday from 12pm to 1pm.  We will be contactable on a  mobile number in the case of Emergencies. 

We are delighted to announce that from July 2026 Dr Colin Brueggemeier is joining the GP partners as a Salaried GP and will work Wednesday and Thursdays.  He is looking forward to looking after our registered pateints.
