Current Location
The practice operates from a purpose built Medical Centre that is over 10,000 square feet.
In addition to the new premises we have radically overhauled the record keeping system, a pilot computerisation programme commenced in 1997 and has now been completed and on the basis of that experience it is anticipated that with new and upgraded systems we will effectively be paperless.

The current appointment system allows for scheduled and pre-planned attendances by patients
