The Limes Medical Centre is a well-regarded surgery with a very stable and happy partnership. Our GPs normally retire rather than resign.

We have long seen the benefit of a well-supported team of Paramedics and PAs, with our first PAs being employed in early 2020. The patient feedback from the service is excellent. It is a practice where patients often thank you for their care and are grateful to be registered with us.
