Car Park

Our car park is continually congested with cars, many of which could be parked in the Land of Canaan car park. We are concerned at the number of minor bumps and near misses and if you park in our car park, you do so at your own risk. Please park considerately in the designated bays, otherwise you may be asked to move your vehicle before you can attend your appointment. Thank you for your co operation.

Those attending flu clinics are asked to park in Land of Canaan car park.

Fundraising

Dr Sam Cole and Dr Kate Gurney have just completed a fundraising swim for The Oxford Craniofacial Unit. This is the only centre in the UK for people with some of the rarer craniofacial conditions. Dr Cole and Dr Gurney swam from Europe to Asia across Dardonelles (one of the world's busiest shipping lanes). If you would like to support them please visit their fundraising webpage at www.justgiving.com/samantha-cole1
