The practice has seen an increasing list size since it wasformed and over time the surgery has developed a number of extensions atAshworth Street to accommodate both additional clinicians and their ownclinical consulting rooms. The most recent extension here at Ashworth Streetwas completed in July 2010 when a further six consulting rooms (fifteen in all)were developed on the first floor which also incorporates a lift to gainaccess.

In 2010 we saw the completion of our branch surgery inNorden. The surgery is based in what was the Norden Old Library on EdenfieldRoad. From the feedback we have received from our patients, this has proved tobe a huge success.
