It’s ! Did you know that wood burning is the most polluting way to heat your home?

Wood burning smoke produces fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5), which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and can cause heart and lung disease, as well as increasing your risk of diabetes and dementia.

Even homes with newer “Ecodesign” wood burners are three times more polluted than those without.

92% of people burning wood in the UK already have another way to heat their home, but unfortunately many are not aware of the facts about wood burning and are inadvertently putting the health of their family and local community at risk.

This , share the facts about wood burning so we can give everyone the information they need to protect their health.

The cones in the staff car park are sectioning off space for Town and Country Builders who are today starting internal building works at the surgery. These works are an important investment in our future and will provide us with additional consulting rooms, as well as a much needed refurbishment of our reception area.

We are very fortunate to have secured a grant from NHS England to support the works that directly create additional clinical rooms.

Naturally, while the work is underway there will be some disruption at times, including noise and changes to room usage. We will do everything we can to minimise the impact on day to day services and our patients.

Thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility during the works. We anticipate the work to be completed by the end of March 2026.
