We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded the Armed Forces veteran friendly GP practice accreditation from the Royal College of General Practitioners. This means that, as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant, we have a dedicated clinician - Dr Rashmi Sawhney, who has a specialist knowledge of military related health conditions and veteran specific health services. This is important in helping ex-forces to get the best care and treatment. If you are ex-forces, please let us know so we can ensure you are getting the best possible care.

We have recently reviewed our private / non-NHS work fees and they have been updated with effect from 11th October 2019. Please see our full list here. For further information, please see our section on our website by clicking here.  

As a practice, our clinicians have a conscientious objection to signing Firearms Licences. This is in line with BMA guidance: https://www.bma.org.uk/advice/employment/ethics/ethics-a-to-z/firearms We are able to supply a letter stating that as a practice we have a conscientious objection to signing Firearms Licences, which can be given to the police who can then organise your Firearms Licence. This will be free of charge. Please email: riversidesurgery@nhs.net if you wish to request one.
