Patient care and experience drives our enthusiasm. Patients can access our services using a range of modalities with Healthwatch stating we have better access compared to others in the area. Appointments are 15 minutes with a number of specialised clinics. Our services are tailored to accommodate our diverse population. CQC inspections have always been rated Good.
