Welcome to West Common Lane Teaching Practice

West  Common Lane Teaching Practice first opened in 1991, with our branch site opening in 2015 within Ashby Clinic.  Currently our practice list size is around 8000 patients and continues to grow.  Dr Hall and Dr Thomas, GP Partners, are keen to further develop the practice and as part of their plan, Dr Green, our current Salaried GP, will join the partnership in April.  We will also see Dr Ope, our current GP Registrar, joining us from March as a Salaried GP, bringing further clinical experience to the practice.
