Christmas jumper day where we raise money for Zoe's Place - the lovely ladies working in the back office doing prescriptions and referrals. Joined by Dr Gandhi and Dr Hussain. And the blow up reindeer who is a very hard worker.

96% of our patients have scored us the highest in our monthly stats.
The biggest dissatisfaction is with cancelled appointments and we fully understand this - it is very frustrating. Unfortunately at this time of year our clinical staff also get viruses especially when dealing with poorly patients. We don't have 'spare' appointments or nurses so we reluctantly have to cancel. We do this as a last resort but sometimes there is no choice.
