What we treat
What we look after
The everyday illness and the long-term conditions we manage, and how each is reviewed.
High blood pressure
Silent, extremely common, and one of the most worthwhile things to treat.
- Usually no symptoms at all
- Found at a routine check or a pharmacy
- Occasional headaches, though rarely caused by it
- A family history of stroke or heart disease
Diabetes
A long-term condition managed by regular review rather than by episodes.
- Thirst, passing urine more often, and tiredness
- Recurrent infections or slow-healing wounds
- Blurred vision
- Often none — found on a blood test
Asthma and COPD
Breathing conditions where technique and a written plan matter as much as the prescription.
- Wheeze, breathlessness or a persistent cough
- Needing a reliever inhaler more than twice a week
- Waking at night with breathing symptoms
- Chest infections that keep recurring
Anxiety, depression and low mood
Among the commonest reasons people see a GP, and among the most treatable.
- Persistent low mood or loss of interest
- Worry that is difficult to control
- Sleep, appetite or concentration disturbed
- Physical symptoms with no physical cause found
Acute illness and infections
The illness that has not settled, and whether it needs treatment.
- A fever, cough or sore throat lasting longer than expected
- Urinary symptoms
- A rash, a bite or a wound that looks infected
- Sickness or diarrhoea that is not improving
Musculoskeletal and back pain
Very common, usually manageable, and rarely needing a scan early.
- Back or neck pain, with or without leg or arm symptoms
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Pain after an injury
- Pain that has become long-term
Contraception and sexual health
Contraception, screening and the conversations that are easier with a GP.
- Wanting to start, change or stop contraception
- A coil or implant due for replacement
- Concerns about symptoms or an exposure
- Fertility or menopause questions
Skin problems
Rashes, moles, acne and eczema — most managed here, some referred on.
- A rash that has not settled
- A mole that has changed
- Acne that over-the-counter products have not helped
- Recurrent skin infections

Before you come
Registering and being seen
Registering takes a few minutes
Online or at reception. We request your previous records, which usually arrive within a fortnight.
Say what it is about when you book
Reception is not being nosy — it is how they give you the right length of appointment with the right person.
One main problem per appointment
If you have several, say so and ask for a longer slot rather than trying to fit them into fifteen minutes.
Bring your medicines
Or a printed list, including anything bought over the counter or prescribed elsewhere.
Checklist
What to bring
- A list of your current medicines, including anything over the counter
- Details of your previous practice, if you are registering
- Photographs of any rash or symptom that comes and goes
- Any letters or results from a hospital or another practice
Patients
What our patients say
Where we are
Our clinics
Where to find us, what each site is for, and when it is open.
Branch surgery
Branch site
A smaller site running a subset of the clinics, for patients who live nearer to it.
- Prescriptions can be collected from either site
