Gade & Chorleywood Health Centres Practice Merger Patient Event
Register for the online Patient Event Thursday 22nd May 2025 2pm – 3pm
A decision has been made to merge Gade Surgery and Chorleywood Health Centre to form one GP practice, effective from 2nd June 2025. We believe that working together as one larger organisation will strengthen our ability to maintain high quality care for our patients. We will be able to invest in innovation and create a stable and sustainable GP Practice by sharing the resources and expertise of both current practices. Over time, we aim to offer more services and greater access across Rickmansworth and Chorleywood including more GP and nursing appointments.
Further to the patient consultation meeting held last month we are inviting patients to an online patient event which will take place on Thursday 22nd May 2025 2pm -3pm – Click here to read more about the event and to register
