Retirement
Dr Taylor is retiring from general practice in February of this year. Dr Taylor has been at the surgery for many years, providing excellent health care for our patients. We at the surgery will be very sorry to see him go and wish him a long, happy and healthy retirement.
New Partner
We have recruited a new partner to join the practice. We would like to welcome Dr Zia Ibrahimi who will be joining us in February and comes highly recommended from a Rotherham practice where he has worked for the last 3 years.
Book Appointments Online
We have increased the number of appointments that are available for booking online. If you are interested in using this service please ask the receptionist for more details on how to register.
New Computer System
The surgery has a new computer system (EmisWeb). The advanced features will improve the way we handle patient information and over the coming months as we become more familiar with the system we aim to introduce some of the functions that are now available to us.

Vascular Risk Assessment(NHS Health Check)
This assessment is offered to people aged 40-75 years with no existing chronic disease. It focuses on factors including smoking, healthy eating, alcohol use, physical activity and emotional wellbeing.
The information gathered helps people plan for lifestyle change, giving ideas, information and support. We aim to invite all our patients that fall into this category within the next 2-3 years but please feel free to contact the surgery to arrange an appointment to see our Healthcare Assistant.
