Serving You
Our dedicated Primary Care Team are here to help. We are here to help and treat those minor aliments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions. We are constantly striving to improve our patient experience and with the use of technology means patients can now do a lot of things from the comfort of their home, such as order prescriptions, book/cancel appointments and even submit health questionnaires regarding long-term conditions.
Partners in Care
Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. The GP and patient relationship is very much a partnership. Our healthcare team will try to provide the best and most appropriate care but we also expect our patients to treat our practice team respectfully and also have a courtesy towards other patients. Small gestures, such as, cancelling unwanted appointments helps towards providing better care for everybody.
