Family medicine, with time to listen

GPs, nurses and children's care under one roof. Book by phone or online, take your time with your doctor and leave with a plan you understand.

About the practice

Sunmere is a neighbourhood practice of family doctors, nurses and a small front desk. We would rather know you than rush you, so visits run twenty minutes and your notes travel with you between both practices.

  • Twenty-minute visits

    Room for the second question, the one you almost did not ask.

  • One doctor for the household

    Families can choose a GP who sees everyone, from the baby to the grandparents.

  • Interpreters on request

    Ask for a phone or in-person interpreter when you book, at no cost to you.
