The Beacon Medical Centre has now officially opened:

Welcome to our surgery website where we hope you will quickly benefit from a user friendly layout and a wealth of information about the healthcare services available in the Sid Valley. 

The Beacon Medical Centre, our new surgery, is now open and is our main site. The Blackmore site is now our branch surgery (which will mean fewer appointments offered than The Beacon). Both sites come under the umbrella of Sid Valley Practice and all patients will now be registered under Sid Valley Practice, not individual sites. Appointments will be offered at both sites. Please note, the Duty Doctor for on-the-day appointments will be based at The Beacon Medical Centre.
