Welcome to The Hicks Group

The Practice has been in existence, in various forms and in various buildings, since 1821. The Charles Hicks Centre was built in 1987 and extended in 1992. The Roman Gate Surgery replaced premises in Old Court Hall and was occupied in February 1994. Now more than ever we want to help you through these unprecedented times

Sadly after more than 26 years Dr Weyell has decided to retire from the Hicks Group Practice at the end of May to take on new challenges in the NHS.
