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.

Dr Thornett is leaving the surgery
After much thought, Dr Thornett (our only GP Partner) has taken the difficult decision to resign and has notified The Black Country and West Birmingham CCG of his intention. The CCG has accepted this resignation and is now exploring options for the future provision of General Medical Services to patients registered at our practice. No decision on the future has been made and services will continue as normal until further notice. Before any decision is made by the CCG there will be an opportunity for patients and the public to express their views on this matter. In the meantime if you would like to share your thoughts or express an interest in being involved then please email [email protected]
