Parking

The practice does not accept responsibility for any damage to vehicles parked at the surgery. Owners park entirely at their own risk.

Please note our car park gets very busy during peak times.

We are based in a residential area, if you park outside the surgery car park please be considerate of our neighbours.

Please do not block residents' driveways or double park on residential roads as this can restrict access for emergency vehicles.  

Disabled Access

Patient services are provided at ground level and a lift is available to access the first floor.

A disabled patients' WC is provided.

If access proves difficult to any of our disabled patients we would be happy to give any assistance required.
