About Us

About New Road Surgery 

New Road Surgery is a family doctors’ practice led by four doctors in partnership. We serve patients in Croxley Green, Sarratt and the surrounding area. The main building is in Croxley Green and we have two branch surgeries. Baldwins Lane Surgery is also in Croxley Green and the other is in Church Lane, Sarratt.

This is also an accredited practice for training qualified doctors to become GPs. We also provide training to medical students during their attachments to general practice and work with several medical schools.

We have around 14,200 patients and they are all registered with a named GP but patients can see any GP in the practice. 

We take pride in providing high quality care in a small traditional family GP practice. 

We work well with Garston Medical Centre as part of our Grand Union Primary Care Network (PCN). We also engage with other local practices, hospitals, community services and the local Integrated Care Service (ICS). 

Our Statement of Purpose

Our aim is to provide patients with medical care of the highest quality. We want to improve the health status of the practice population. We aim to achieve this by being a practice which responds to people’s needs. Where possible, we use the latest advances in primary health care and use NHS resources efficiently and effectively.
