Greenside Group Practice has a constantly growing list size of 9557, showing an increase of nearly 1500 patients over the last 12 months.  The practice operates from two separate sites, both in the Broad Green area of West Croydon.  

Our Lennard Road surgery was completely refurbished with an extension completed in 2012.  We have disabled facilities including parking and access.  The Greenside site has been regularly upgraded and maintained and is also DDA compliant.

We are a successful training practice having just had our training inspection and been awarded a maximum 5 years trainer approval and 5 years practice approval. 

We are committed to the ongoing training of our Clinical team.  Both clinical and administrative staff are given an annual appraisal where the goals of the individual are discussed and realistic targets are set.

The Practice area has a sizeable travellers site these are frequent attenders at the Surgery.
