Regulated activities include surgical procedures, family planning, treatment of disease, disorder or injury, maternity and midwifery services and diagnostic and screening.
Data shows that the age profile of the practice population is broadly in line with the CCG and national averages and that 94.3% of patients are from a white ethnic group, 3.8% are from an Asian ethnic group and 1.9% from other ethnic groups.
Information taken from Public Health England placed the area in which the practice is located as five on the deprivation scale of one to ten. (The lower the number the higher the deprivation). In general, people living in more deprived areas tend to have greater need for health services.

The clinical team is supported by a practice manager and a team of administration and reception staff.
