We encourage patients to join our patient participation group. For further information, please get in touch with the surgery and speak to Chevonne.

From the pharmacy team
If you are aged 40-70 years old, you may be eligible for a free NHS health check. This is a pre-emptive health check which gives you a snapshot of your health and assesses your risk of developing diabetes, a stroke, kidney and heart disease in the future.
You can call the surgery to book your appointment if you are within this age range.
Please remember to bring your medication with you to your appointment. If you have any queries, please get in touch or visit the NHS Health Check website.
