Our Practice

The Friary Surgery opened in 1999. The building stands on the site of a Franciscan Monastery founded in 1258 and was originally erected as a private dwelling in the sixteenth century, It later became the headmaster’s residence and boarding house for Richmond School. Overlooked by Grey Friar’s Tower and surrounded by wooded gardens, the building today retains much of its antiquity and original features. However a comprehensive renovation programme has skilfully brought it up to date to meet the demands of modern general practice.

We share our lovely building with the Friary Community Hospital, which has excellent facilities, including in-patient beds, x-ray, physiotherapy, phlebotomy community staff offices and consultant led health clinics.

We provide high quality, safe, professional Primary Health Care General Practice services to our patients.

We focus on prevention of disease by promoting health and wellbeing and offering care and advice to our patients.

We work in partnership with our patients, their families and carers towards a positive experience and understanding, involving them in decision making about their treatment and care.

We treat patients as individuals and with the same respect we would want for ourselves or a member or our families, listening and supporting people to express their needs and wants and enabling people to maintain the maximum possible level of independence, choice and control.
