May 2021 update

Please note that our main doors are open and patients are able to access reception services by telephone or face to face.

We are inviting patients in for face to face GP appointments where clinically appropriate and the majority of our nurse appointments are face to face

(some respiratory reviews are being done by telephone).

If you attend the Practice, please help us to keep staff and patients safe by wearing a face covering and maintaining social distance. 

Our waiting room is still at half capacity, so please be aware that if the waiting room is full, you will be asked to wait outside.

For more information regarding our current appointment system, please see the appointments section on our website or click here

We are proud that we have maintained a "doors open" approach throughout the pandemic and are looking forward to seeing more patients

face to face over the coming months as it becomes safer to do so.
