Early help makes a real difference. You don’t need to wait until symptoms become unmanageable to seek advice.

We take your symptoms seriously. Hormonal health affects physical, emotional and professional wellbeing, and we give it the priority and attention it deserves.

Safety first

Unexpected bleeding

If you have unexpected bleeding 12 or more months after your last period, or unusually heavy bleeding between periods, contact the surgery promptly for assessment.

Urgent care

If you or someone you know needs urgent help outside surgery hours, call 111 or 999.

What our patients say

The doctor was friendly and respectful and asked if would mind a student being present. He listened to my story very carefully and was thorough with his examination and arrived quickly to a conclusion. He referred me to A&E for CT scan and blood tests.

Receptionists were extremely kind and friendly. I used the triage form for the first time and received a call back with an appointment in under half an hour. Saw Dr Raybould also for the first time and she was excellent.

Very professional and helpful medical and admin staff. I always feel I’ve been given thorough treatment/advice and any questions have been addressed. I find the online appointment booking option very easy to use.
