About the employer

Greenwood Surgery has been practising in South Woodham Ferrers since 1984. For many years Greenwood Surgery was based in premises near the Town Centre but due to increasing patient numbers and changes to legislation the premises were no longer fit for purpose and did not meet the requirements of the NHS Premises Standards. In November 2019 Greenwood Surgery moved in to brand new, purpose built premises located on Burnham Road, which is on the periphery of the town. The new premises offer more consulting rooms and better accessibility for patients who may have mobility issues. Greenwood Surgery prides itself on being a family doctor service having seen a couple of generations of families who have remained loyal to Greenwood Surgery.
