Welcome to Parkside Group Practice
We are a friendly team of professionals whose aim is to look after the health of you and your family. All our staff are trained to put your health needs first and we are committed to giving you the best possible service.
Our practice is situated in South Croydon, Surrey. We have eight GPs to look after a population of approximately 12,500 patients. Our team also includes four practice nurses, a health care assistant and a phlebotomist.
The practice is a GP training practice and we are lucky enough to have two new registrars each year. Registrars are fully qualified doctors undertaking the final year of a three-year postgraduate GP training course. We also offer supervision to FY1 & 2 medical students.
The practice is committed to offering all patients (including those under 16) a confidential service in a safe environment.

PLEASE BEWARE!
Recently two elderly residents, living in Parrs Close, were duped into letting a so called Police Officer into their homes. They were robbed of over £500, luckily they were not harmed.
Unfortunately it would appear that there are people in the local area pretending to be Police Officers or from the Gas or Water board to gain access to people’s homes. We want to raise awareness of these recent incidents so that people take precautions and carefully check identification before letting anyone into their home.
