Meet our Team

We have five doctors, three GP Partners and two Salaried GPs working together with the Primary Healthcare Team to provide the highest level of care for all our patients.

We pride ourselves on our friendly approachable work ethos while maintaining excellent standards of up to date medical care. The GP contract asks that all patients have a named accountable doctor to all intents and purposes this is the same as your registered doctor.
