Welcome to Parkside Group Practice
The Parkside Group Practice was established in 1991 when the long established and well respected practice situated at 1 St Augustine's Avenue moved into the present premises at 27 Wyche Grove
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 occupies purpuse-built premises with disabled access to all consulting and treatment areas and two disabled car parking spaces. There are also disabled toilets. There is a wheelchair and a portable hearing loop for the use of patients whilst on the premises and a member of staff will be happy to assist with this on request.
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.

LUNG CANCER CAMPAIGN
Lung Cancer is the second most common cancer in England. There are some 33,000 new cases every year. It kills more men and woman than any other form of cancer.
Lung Cancer survival rates in this country are particularly low and there is evidence that this relates to patients tending to have more advanced disease at diagnosis. It has been estimated that 1300 lives could be saved each year if survival rates in England matched the best in Europe. Lung Cancer affects people of all ages but it is most common in those who are over 50. Although it is more common in smokers, around one in eight people with lung cancer have never smoked. Been coughing for 3 weeks? Please make an appointment to see a doctor.

BOWEL CANCER AWARENESS
About one in 20 people in the Uk will develop bowel cancer during their lifetime with the risk increasing with age. Symptoms include:
- a change in your normal bowel habit lasting 3 weeks or more e.g. loose stools, diarrhoea, increased frequency
- bleeding from the bottom and/or blood in your stools lasting 3 weeks or more
- unexplained extreme tiredness and/or weight loss
- a pain or lump in your abdomen and/or back passage
Most symptoms won't be bowel cancer but sometimes it is easy to leave them longer than you should. If you have any symptoms and are over 50, call us and ask for a bowel check at the surgery. Further info: www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk or www.swlcn.nhs.uk
