Meet the Team

Our GP Partners and Salaried doctors work in a partnership and as a group. Although you are registered with the practice, you may see any of the doctors in the practice. They see and treat a wide range of health conditions, offer ongoing support, and work closely with the rest of the team to ensure you receive high-quality, personalised care. They also provide training and supervision to our Resident Doctors and supporting clinical team.

Having made a choice it is advisable to see the same doctor whenever possible, especially for follow up of a continuing problem.
