The
practice was established by my father Charles Steer, when he left
a group practice in Kingston in 1959. The practice at that time
was exclusively a private practice, bit since 1993 a small NHS
list has been established. We aim to run a personal and readily available service, to which end we have not set aside times for specific clinics, as we believe that it is more convenient that all services are available during normal surgeries. Mrs
Bee Hooper RGN our nurse, works here on Monday and Wednesday mornings. New Patients - may register by direct application to the surgery. We ask that all new patients make an appointment for a healthcheck with either the nurse or one of the doctors. Disabled access - The surgery is on the ground floor and can be accessed by the smaller wheelchair, though help will be needed to get over the step (There is no disabled toilet) Services Available:
Repeat prescriptions - should be requested by
use of the tear-off repeat side of the prescription or in writing
and may be collected after 11:30am. If you want
it posted please enclose a SEA.
