All the doctors provide care during normal pregnancy, delivery and post-natally. Most patients deliver in the General Practitioner Unit at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. However, if special care is needed, we share care with the local hospital consultants. The Midwife runs an antenatal clinic at the Surgery on Wednesday mornings. Please make an appointment through Reception

We carry out a variety of minor surgery procedures at the surgery. Apart from the routine “lumps and bumps”, we undertake cryotherapy for warts etc. Minor surgery sessions are normally carried out on Mondays and Fridays by Dr. Simon Reid, Dr. Nigel Russell and Dr Nick Durrell, but you need to see your own doctor before an appointment is offered.  Unfortunately, cosmetic surgery is not available on the NHS at the current time. Please discuss this with your doctor.
