The Practice was founded in about 1900 and moved from its original premises on Densham’s Corner into a brand new health centre in Lawson Street in 1974.  The health centre was later replaced by the current building which was opened in 2006 when the practice became Densham Surgery, named after the practice founder, Dr Henry Densham. 

There have been a considerable number of changes over the years, especially since April 1990.  We now employ more staff and run more clinics. 

We consider that we provide comprehensive health care of a high standard.
