We have been a practice for nearly a hundred years. The surgery was founded by the Chesser family. We have always had PERSONALISED LISTS, and our patients are aware of their registered/usual doctor. If you are unsure, please ask at reception.
We have around 7000 patients whom we feel we treat very well, especially in these recent recession years, which have also affected the NHS.
Opening Times
See the appointments page for full details of our opening times.
FLU JABS
These have arrived. Please do come have your jab. You may have ideas about how effective they are, or that you 'never get the flu', but they reduce your chances of going into hospital and dying. That is proved. It is proved that they cannot give you the flu, but some patients feel a bit 'viral' for a few days after. There is simply no excuse for not having a flu jab: ignorance is no defence.
This year there are 3 types available.
Trivalent (standard)
Quadrivalent (more effective, 4 strains instead of 3).We stock this one.
Adjuvant(ATIV) which is enhanced for the older age group. There is a national shortage of this third once, unfortunately. We've done our best to secure it, but only have a few for our 75y plus patients. Some chemists may get some in stock, but we are unsure.
Please book with Nurse to have your flu jab, or ask GP whilst you are in consultant in case they have time to give you a jab. Carers are also entitled, if you live in same household as a vulnerable person, as well as patients with chronic diseases. There are also Saturday bookable clinics 20 & 27th October.

Injured or unwell? Don’t just go to A&E
Your local Accident and Emergency (A&E) department is under severe pressure because of the numbers of patients attending the department, often with common health problems that can be better treated elsewhere. To help raise awareness, the “A&E won’t kiss it better”’ campaign is being rolled out across Sutton this winter.
The campaign will remind local people that A&E is not for common health problems, often associated with the colder weather, like coughs and colds but for serious and life-threatening emergencies like loss of consciousness
Dr Jonathan Cockbain, local GP and Urgent Care Clinical Lead for NHS Sutton CCG is reminding local people that A&E is for serious emergencies only. “Hospitals are very busy places all year round, but particularly in the winter months. Every day doctors and nurses who specialise in life-threatening illness spend their time dealing with people who have coughs, back ache, diarrhoea and other minor illnesses.

This website is intended to give good quality information and point our patients in the correct direction, so they can help themselves and be more informed. It is a sad fact that the American public know much more about medicine and their drugs than the British. We hope to change that! We are averaging 10,000 monthly website visits, which is nearly twice as many patients as we have on our books!
Please explore the site. You will also find out things about how we run the practice that will help you, and leave you more prepared for when you come to see the doctor or other health professional. Feedback is important to us.
The views expressed here are solely those of Dr Ditri and are not meant to cause any offence to any individual, though they are not intended to be politically correct, but to be honest and direct. The pages are being written as we speak, so do pop back and take another look later. We will try to keep this as up to date as we can, especially the rolling notice board on the left.
