Welcome to Central Surgery

We are a dynamic and friendly surgery who are committed to providing excellent care and patient satisfaction.  

We have a number of clinicians who have special interests to provide a variety of clinics and services to meet our patients' needs such as chronic disease management (eg. Diabetes, Asthma, COPD clinics etc.), phlebotomy, minor operations (including acupuncture) and childhood vaccinations. We have extended hours Mon-Fri. We operate from a DDA compliant building which was built in 2013. There is wheelchair access and a hearing loop installed at our reception desk.

Telephones

We apologise in advance if you have a long wait to get through on the telephone. We have staff shortages however we are currently recruiting and should have three more receptionists in post by mid January 20. We are really sorry for this less than expected service. We advise people to  call later in the day or book online as our emergency appointments on the day are released online at the same time they are opened up for the receptionists on the telephone at 8.00 am. If you are experiencing severe breathlessness or/and heart pain, please call 999.
