Welcome to Cottage Lane Surgery

With patients’ needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

EASY READ Information can be made available in alternative formats, such as easy read or large print, and may be available in alternative languages, upon request.

REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS Some times just a small change can make such a difference for example providing a quiet room or providing a longer appointment.  Please let us know in advance if we can help.
