The Practice is based at Ditton Priors, where all the administration and the major part of our work is conducted. We also have a well equipped branch surgery at Stottesdon that is visited regularly by one of the Doctors and our Health Care Assistants for consultations. Both the practice buildings are under twenty years old.

We cover a large rural area of over 110 square miles dominated by the Brown Clee and Titterstone Clee Hills. The list size is just under 4000 – allowing us to see patients when they want. The whole practice is proud of its achievements in studies of quality where we rank consistently at the top of all practices in Shropshire. Patient satisfaction surveys consistently rate us very highly.
