Catchment Area
Although in the past our catchment area has included the whole of the Harlow District Council area and the nearby communities of Sawbridgeworth and Sheering, a decision was made by the Practice to restrict the registration of new patients within a designated area around the Surgery. This decision had to be made due to our increasing list size and extension of the patient services offered at the Practice. However, this has not affected any existing patients who live outside the new designated area.
