About our Practice

The practice has been established in St Germans for at least one hundred and fifty years. We aim to give the same friendly and caring service to the families of St Germans and surrounding areas now, as then. However certain things have changed. We now operate from a modern purpose-designed building completed in November 1991. Other features include a large car park, toilet facilities, childrens play area, baby changing facilities, and air conditioning. 

Quay Lane Surgery is easily accessible to wheelchair users,using the slope outside the waiting room leading to the main entrance. There is a parking space for the disabled near the foot of this slope. There is a toilet in the building accessible to wheelchairs.

There is also a branch surgery in Downderry. The Downderry surgery is open every weekday and is closed on Tuesday and Friday afternoons.

Downderry surgery is not suitable for disabled patients.

We offer a full range of Family Health Care including Minor Surgery, Ante-Natal care, Child Care (including Paediatric surveillance), Preventative Medicine and Family Planning, Smoking Cessation, Clinical Massage, Drug and Alcohol Counselling and Generic Counselling, the Fitting of IUCDs and Cervical Smears, Weight Loss and Dietary Advice and Travel Advice and Vaccinations.

We are active members of the Royal College of General Practitioners and like to think we offer the best available service. We achieved the Quality Practice Award in 2003.
