The Practice
The main practice premises are at our purpose built site on Dykes Hall Road which is situated close to the Hillsborough shopping area and was opened in 1985. The practice covers most of S6, extending North West to rural S35 (Oughtibridge/Grenoside). In addition the practice has a branch site which is situated 2 miles away in lower Stannington. This is a purpose built surgery opened in 1991 and serves the Stannington and Malin Bridge area of S6. The practice population totals 9,600 patients.
The practice's aim has always been to provide a comprehensive, quality service to all our patients whilst also creating a supportive environment in which to work.
