Welcome to the Southwood Practice Website

Southwood Pratice is run by Dr Whitfield with the aim of providing comprehensive healthcare of the highest quality to our patients.

The Surgery is open from 08:30am to 18:30pm Monday to Friday. Within these hours the clinicians run morning and afternoon sessions. We run an evening surgery on a Wednesday and Thursday with the GP and Practice nurse which is bookable in advance.

Please note that all of our appointments between 6th - 15th June will be 'same day' appointments only - you will need to call us on the day you want your appointment. This is due to the long bank holiday weekend!

If you have had a cough for more than 3 weeks tell your GP.
