We now have a bicycle rack in the carpark for our patients who prefer to cycle to their appointments.  This was after a suggestion left by one of our patients in the suggestion box in our waiting room.  We appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Many of you may have already met our new receptionist Megan who will be working regularly on Thursdays and Fridays.  Megan is new to General Practice but has very good experience in customer service roles.

April 2014

Some of you may recall completing a questionnaire on patient satisfaction.  The main area highlighted for us to improve was on waiting times.  While we always make every effort to run on time, sometimes unexpected emergencies and complex problems may cause delays. We are continually aiming to improve waiting times and we thank you for your patience and understanding. 

Another area for improvement was not being able to make an appointment with the doctor of their choice.  We do hold open appointment times to be booked on the day and endeavour to see all urgent cases, it is not possible to always be able to see your doctor at a suitable time.

Comments were also made on the welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and confidence in their doctor.  We thank you for your feedback.

February 2014

Welcome to our updated website.  We aim to keep you informed with services and charges and what to expect when you visit our practice.  We have added some useful links and will be adding new health promotion messages from time to time.  We always appreciate your comments and feedback to improve our services. We have a suggestion box in the waiting room or you can talk to any of our staff.
