Collingwood Surgery reception area will be refurbished in January. This means some changes will be temporarily in place. Please be patient with our staff whilst the work is carried out.

Right care, first time.

General practice is facing unprecedented pressure. Demand is exceeding capacity, patients are facing longer delays and abuse in practice is rising as a result.

Our new campaign is designed to help reduce the burden on GPs by explaining why you don’t always need to see the doctor.

Each practice has their own multi-skilled team, and we have chosen a few examples for a dramatic representation of a GP surgery scenario in a short video. While we understand policy and roles vary from practice to practice, we feel the message is the same.
