Thank you again to everyone who completed the Friends and Family feedback and Google Reviews. These help shape the practice and help others find our services. We had some fantastic feedback and I'm glad the vast majority of patients find rate our services as very good. Below are just some of the comments:

I was originally given an appointment that was not suitable the receptionist was great and got me a more suitable appointment and the doctor was very nice and listened and gave me a diagnosis to my relief.

Very caring and great advice with the problems I’m having at the moment and knowing the medication that’s needed for me.
Nurse Heather was amazing! super polite, super friendly and was on time!

Tom Latham is an absolute pleasure to see, takes time to listen and action is taken straight away.

I was treated with the greatest respect, as it's not as easy talking about your weight when struggling with it, and I was given good advice and given a choice.

Had an appointment with Aniqah to discuss some recent issues. Found her to be very helpful and nice to talk to.

Extremely quick response to a problem with my teenage son, quick diagnosis and plan of action. My son felt comfortable during the exam his special needs were taken into consideration

I was very impressed with how easy the experience was

I received a call from my son's school on a Friday afternoon to say they thought his finger was infected. I took him to the pharmacy and they agreed so said I should go to the GP. I raised an online ticket straight away and drove to the surgery. The receptionist was really helpful and a doctor saw my son within 20 minutes and prescribed him what he needed. I also had to request an appointment for my eldest son that morning and got an appointment straight away. I can't imagine a better service anywhere and I feel so lucky we're at Eden Court.

Doctor Dhahan is brilliant, very kind and polite.

Lisa was very personal and made me feel relaxed and she explained everything

Protecting your little ones starts with a tiny pinch! 👶✨

​We know there’s a lot of information out there, but staying up to date with childhood immunisations is the best way to keep your children safe from serious diseases like measles, mumps, and meningitis. 🛡️

​Why it matters:

​Safety First: Vaccines are rigorously tested and monitored.

​Community Care: Protecting your child helps protect those who can't be vaccinated.

​Peace of Mind: Ensure they’re ready for playgroups, nursery, and school!

​📅 Is your child due for a jab?

Check your "Red Book" or message our practice to book an appointment with our friendly team. We’re here to answer any questions and make the experience as brave and easy as possible!

Watch the video below from our Dr Hutchinson for more information.

Meningitis can be very serious if not treated quickly.

The NHS website has all the information you need, including what to look out for and when to get medical help.

Following the recent news of the MENINGITIS outbreak in Kent, we’ve had many questions about who is eligible for a jab on the NHS.

​Here is a clear breakdown of the current NHS England criteria for 2026.

​🎓 For Young Adults & Students (Under 25):

​The primary vaccine for this age group is MenACWY.
- ​Routine: Offered to all students in School Year 9 or 10.
- ​Catch-up: If you missed it at school, you are eligible for a free dose at the GP until your 25th birthday.
- ​Why? This is vital for students starting university, as it protects against four deadly strains.

​👶 For Infants & Children (The 2026 Schedule):

​The NHS schedule for meningitis vaccines has recently been updated.
- ​MenB Vaccine: Now given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and a booster at 1 year.
- ​Note: Most people over the age of 10 today will not have had this on the NHS, as it only became routine in 2015.
- ​6-in-1 Vaccine: Now includes a booster at 18 months (for children born after July 2024) to protect against Hib-related meningitis.
- ​Pneumococcal (PCV): Given at 16 weeks and 1 year.

​🩺 Higher Risk Groups:

​You may be eligible for extra meningitis vaccinations regardless of age if you have certain health conditions, such as:
- ​A missing or non-functional spleen.
- ​Severe immune system issues
- ​Certain treatments that weaken your immune system.

​📍 What should I do?

1) ​Check your history: Log into the NHS App to see exactly which meningitis vaccines you have already received

2) ​Request a catch-up: If you are under 25 and have not had the MenACWY jab, message us

3)​ Private MenB Jabs: Currently, the NHS does not offer a MenB catch-up for those born before 2015 (unless you are in a high-risk medical group). Some pharmacies offer this privately, though stocks are currently limited due to high demand.

Tracey was amazing with my little boy having his preschool immunisations she was so understanding, explained everything to him and us and was so lovely! We were so worried and anxious on how it was going to be for him but she made it so much easier we are so greatful! The receptionist was so wonderful and praised my son once he had them to as we were leaving and he was so happy and proud of himself thank you so much

Doctor was so helpful felt nice and relaxed.

Dr Hutchinson was lovely, she listened well and helped me.

The nurse was really friendly, easy to talk to, amazing nurse would see her again

Heather was amazing she put me completely at ease and showed compassion

Quick wait times.. always friendly nurses. They are really welcoming. Had to use reception as well very helpful

I have recently joined the practice as a patient and i have had a lot of appointments which the practice is following up on the results they get back great service

Because over the last 6 weeks I’ve a several occasions where I attended Eden court and received the best clear care and advice all 3 doctors I saw where amazing

I was running late and telephoned as I was stuck in traffic the doctor was still kind enough to see me understood my health issues and gave me medication and put an X-ray request to good hope

Appointment was given as requested. Dr Meyyappan was amazing, really thorough, took time to explain what was happening. Also gave me a plan for a follow up appointment. I left the surgery feeling very happy.

Tom was very helpful and explained things in layman's terms

The Dr I saw was very professional and polite. They made sure to cover any concerns I had. They left the treatment option up to me. The reception staff were also very polite and friendly

Your latest Netflix binge lasted 8 hours. This appointment takes about 10 minutes. It’s not the most glamorous "self-care" date on your calendar, but it’s definitely the most important.

​Cervical screening (the smear test) isn't a test for cancer—it's a test to prevent it.

​✅ Quick
✅ Simple
✅ Life-saving
