Please note to order your HRT separately to other medications so you can use the exemption certificate without any problems.

Would you like help setting up your NHS App ?

Members of the PPG panel will be at TMC 10 – 12 on Saturday 25th March to assist. You will need to bring your NHS number and photo ID.

A Patient Participation Group (PPG) is a group of people who are patients of the surgery and want to help it work as well as it can for patients, doctors and staff.

Your experiences matter and you can bring different ideas to the surgery to help us treat patients better or to improve what we do in some way.

We are still recruiting new members if this interests you. Please simply ask for Karen Wheeler at the Reception Desk.
