Welcome to Blackwood Health Centre in Streetly

We are a medium sized, long established practice that covers, Streetly, Little Aston, Hardwick and Hill Hook areas, as well as parts of Aldridge, Kingstanding, Pheasey, Questlett and New Oscott (see Practice Boundary Map). There has been a surgery on Blackwood Road for over 40 years. The current surgery is situated next to the library on Blackwood Road.

Urgent update on Blackwood Health Centre – Dr Thornett is no longer leaving us and the surgery will remain open!
We are pleased to announce that three new GP Partners have joined Blackwood Health Centre to continue providing services to patients from our practice. Organising healthcare services has become a lot more complicated in recent years and surgeries benefit from being part of a larger team. Dr Thornett will stop running the practice from 31 July 2021, but will continue to work as a general medical practitioner at Blackwood Health Centre. We hope patients will join our practice team in thanking him for all his support during the 15 years he ran this practice as a single-handed general practitioner. We are delighted to welcome our new GP partners: Dr Jawahir Ratilal Naik, Dr Gurpreet Kaur Khaira and Dr Anne Lewis. They are experienced GPs who already have a practice called The Oaks Medical Centre, located in Great Barr, with a branch surgery in Streetly. We are aware that there had been rumours that the practice might close, so we would like to take this opportunity to reassure our patients that this is not the case. Blackwood Health Centre will continue providing the same services to local people under our new Partners, at the standards you have come to expect.
