Cobbs Garden Surgery looks after the residents of Olney and we also serve the surrounding villages. The practice population is expanding because of new developments in the town and villages we serve which will see our list size grow from just under 9,000 patients to around 12,000 over the next few years.

We are a training practice with both medical students and GP trainees. We have a strong relationship with our Patient Participation Group, Town Council and local charity, Olney is Kind, who raise money to support the surgery.

We are proud of our current CQC rating which is good with an outstanding rating for responsiveness.
