We are excited to announce that the surgery is now officially accredited as an Armed Forces Veteran Friendly GP Practice. A veteran is someone who has served in the British Armed Forces (regular or Reserve) for at least one day. Veterans also include any member of the Merchant Marines who has served in a war zone.
If you are a veteran patient, please let the surgery know that you have served so that we can make sure you receive the most appropriate care as and when you need it.
