Adenomyosis Awareness Month this April is a good time to learn more about the condition.

Please see our headline stats for March 2026 😊

⚠️36 appointments in March were DNA's which is a slight reduction from the previous month but still incurs a cost to the NHS at approximately £1800, it is really important that you contact the Surgery if you cannot make an appointment so the appointment can be offered out to another patient in need.⚠️

Thank you for your continued support.
