Fund Raising

The Friends of Oakfield helps to raise funds for surgery equipment aimed at improving patient care and serves as a forum to enable information to be communicated between patients, the doctors, nurses and practice management. They meet approximately 3 monthly to help support the practice.

A newsletter is published twice a year.

The committee is always keen to recruit new members, so if you have time to spare and are interested in joining the “Friends” please ask to speak to the Practice Manager.
