Family Planning
We provide a comprehensive range of family planning services. The pill and general advice on contraceptives may be obtained from any of the doctors. Specific appointments can be made with Dr M Zaman for the supervision and fitting of contraceptive caps and intra-uterine devices.
Parking
Although parking is provided, this is limited, and priority should be given to the elderly and disabled patients. If at all possible, please take the healthy option of walking to the surgery. Alternatively, bus stops are sited on Wilmslow Road directly outside the centre. Please allow sufficient time before your appointment in case you need to park off site. Your co-operation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Suggestions & Complaints
The practice aims to provide the highest possible standard of patient care. If you have any comments, suggestions or complaints about the service we offer, please write to the complaints manager. Alternatively you may complete a Complaints Report Form which is available from reception.
