Practice information
Last Updated: Wednesday, 26 March 2025We are a long-established general medical practice. In 1987 we moved to our current location from Garston Old Road. In 1995 we had an extension built on the existing premises enabling us to develop and expand our services and making the surgery easily accessible for the disabled. A few years ago we added another internal clinical room, allowing us to provide more nurse and doctor appointments, and create space for us to become a Training Practice and take Medical Students.
Doctors
The doctors practice together as a non-limited partnership, the clinical partners being Dr MD Baxter and Dr MC Widnall. We also have six salaried GPs: Dr Bowns, Dr Howes, Dr Brookes, Dr Nancarrow, Dr Williams, and Dr St John. We also employ locum doctors and Advanced Nurse Practitioners on occasion to cover for doctors who are away undertaking extra training or are on annual or maternity leave.
