Doctors
The Practice was founded in the 1940’s in the Westminster area and we moved to our current purpose built premises, with full disabled access facilities, in the heart of Ellesmere Port in September 1992.
The Practice is managed by our partners who are available for appointments as stated below.
Please note that doctors are required to attend training and meetings so they may not always be available in which case you will be offered an appointment with an alternative doctor.

Specialist areas
Our doctors specialise in certain areas in addition to their general practice responsibilities.
