Message from the GP Practice Partners

From time to time, we need to adjust how patients are shared among our GPs. This helps us make sure that everyone has fair access to appointments and that our team can continue providing the best possible care for you.

Because of this, you may notice that your GP is changing. We are not able to take requests to move to a specific GP, as it is important that we keep our lists balanced across the practice. Please rest assured that all of our GPs work closely together, so your care will always be consistent and well-coordinated.

Thank you for your understanding and support. it really helps us to look after you and our community.eed to adjust how patients are shared among our GPs.
