🚗 Parking Reminder for Patients

We are receiving complaints about parking charge notices from patients who have not entered their vehicle registration into the on-site tablets.

To ensure clarity:

There are over 20 signs across the car park and inside the buildings explaining the parking process.

Patients were first notified via on site signage and our page on 17 November 2025.

The system was installed on 19 December 2025.

At our request, the go-live date was delayed to allow additional awareness.

Since 19 January 2026, parking management has been handled by an external company so our staff can focus on providing an NHS service.

❗ Important:
Please enter your vehicle registration into the tablet when you arrive and use the marked bays. Failure to do so may result in a parking charge notice.

Our reception and clinical staff cannot assist with parking charge notices or appeals. If you receive a notice, please contact the parking management company directly using the details provided on the notice. For reference, confirmation of an appointment does not constitute evidence of compliance with the parking terms, including the requirement to enter vehicle registration details as stated on the signage.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep staff time focused on patient care.

Please be aware that we will be undergoing some internal reconfiguration that will predominantly take place on evenings and weekends during February and March. This will hopefully allow for one extra room for our clinicians and make the Reception desk area more accessible. Whilst we endeavour to keep any disruption to an absolute minimum during our opening hours, we ask for your understanding and patience if there are any temporary changes that we may be required to implement during the improvements. Thank you.

The ANPR for the surgery car park is being installed today. Please be mindful of only using our car park whilst visiting the surgery and to only park in marked bays. Blue badge holders must display their blue badge clearly in the disabled parking bays.

We would like to inform all patients and visitors that Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) will soon be introduced in our surgery car park.
Unfortunately, our car park has increasingly been affected by misuse and unauthorised parking, leading to reduced availability for genuine patients, unnecessary accidents due to vehicles not being in a bay as well as staff being unfairly held accountable when patients are delayed for appointments due to lack of space.
We are also seeing a rise in non–Blue Badge holders parking in disabled bays, which prevents those who need accessible spaces most from being able to park close to the surgery.
We have taken this step reluctantly but necessarily to help ensure that parking spaces remain available and used appropriately only by those attending the surgery and on-site pharmacy. These genuine visitors will be given the opportunity to input their registration which will give them authorisation to a limited amount of time in the car park.
According to NHS guidance, GP practices are not mandated to provide car parking facilities for patients, but we have chosen to do so in good faith to support access to healthcare. We hope that introducing ANPR will help us maintain fair, safe and respectful use of the car park for everyone. This is a subcontracted service that we do not have any other affiliation with, nor will profit from.
Registration devices will be available inside the doctors’ surgery and the on-site pharmacy, where patients and visitors can enter their vehicle registration details to validate parking during their visit.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to create a safer and more accessible environment for all.
Please note that there will be no exceptions for misuse of our private car parking facility which includes parking for longer than the allocated limits. Penalties will be dealt with via the car park management company only.

Dr Goddard wishes to express his gratitude to all patients for their kind words, fabulous gifts and hundreds of cards upon his retirement. He was deeply moved and wished to pass on his appreciation and thanks.
Dr Vaidya, who is taking Dr Goddard’s patient list, will hold her first clinic at the surgery tomorrow.

Please support your GP surgery by having your flu vaccination here at Greengate. Other providers may tell you that you are supporting your surgery by having it done elsewhere – unfortunately this is not the case; this generates extra administration work for us and considerably reduces our funding.

We are offering booked flu clinics and drop in clinics throughout the season at the surgery.

Flu vaccination is safe and effective. It’s offered every year through the NHS to help protect people at risk of getting seriously ill from flu. The surgery will be open until 2:30pm on Saturday 4th October for pre-booked appointments or you may walk-in after 1:15pm if you are an eligible patient. Other flu clinics are available on most working days in October and November. Call 0116 2677901 now.

Following the retirement of Dr Patel we can confirm his patients have been transferred over to Dr Dhillon.

With the upcoming retirement of Dr Goddard we can also confirm his patients will be transferred over to Dr Vaidya

Thank you

We would like to share some bittersweet news with our patients.

After many years of dedicated service, Dr Patel and Dr Goddard will be retiring from Greengate Medical Centre this year.

They have been an integral part of our team and have cared for generations of families with compassion, professionalism, and warmth. Their presence will be deeply missed by both staff and patients alike. Dr Patel will be retiring at the end of August and Dr Goddard at the end of September 2025.

If you’d like to leave a message, we have books to sign at front desk or if you wish to send cards, we’ll be collecting them at reception over the next couple of months. Please join us in wishing them all the very best in their well-earned retirement!

Patients will be contacted via SMS with their new GP in due course. We will have Dr Dhillon and Dr Vaidya joining our team of Doctors.
