From April 2015 all patient’s are allocated a ‘named/accountable’ GP. If you wish to know your GP, please ask at reception. This does not affect your right or ability to seek treatment from any of our Doctors. The table below shows when our GPs normally run a surgery. However due to holidays, Emergency GP duty and other commitments GPs may not always be available according to this basic rota.
