Who we are
Green Road Medical Practice, which opened in October 2003, is a community practice which provides NHS services to the local area.
We understand that good health is not just related to clinical matters but that it is affected by numerous complex factors. That’s why we don’t believe in just giving out prescriptions but working with our patients to understand their circumstances and refer them to other clinics and organisations that will be of best help to them.
We run many clinics for chronic disease care and offer a wide variety of other medical services such as antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.
We accept new registrations from residents within this area only. Please view the New Patients page for more information on how to register.
Green Road Medical Practice operates out of a modern unit which is located within the Green Road retail centre. The unit has facilities for those who may need assistance. There are disabled toilets, accessible seating, hearing aid loops and the health centre is all on one level. Please let us know if we can assist with mobility, visual or hearing difficulties.
We have a dedicated children’s waiting area to keep them entertained whilst waiting. We ask that parents supervise their children in the area whilst they are waiting.
Locum Doctors
If one of the doctors is absent due to training, illness or annual leave a fully trained and qualified GP locum doctor will be employed.
