NEW PATIENT REGISTRATIONS

We have temporary suspended accepting New Patient Registrations as from 25^th March 2019 until 28^th April 2019.

GP APPOINTMENT? CAN'T MAKE IT? DON'T NEED IT?  CANCEL IT!

If you  are unable to keep your appointment, please make every effort to cancel it well in advance so that it may be offered to someone else. Non-attendance and cancellations at short notice without a valid reason deprives other patients of essential medical services.  Appointments are often wasted as people do not attend.  These appointments could have been used by other patients.

*****

As from the 5th November 2018 we are extending our processing time for prescription requests from 2 working days to 3 working days.  Please bear this in mind when ordering prescriptions from now on. Thank you.

Extra evening and weekend appointments available in local area

You can now book routine GP and Nurse appointments in the evening, at weekends and over bank holidays in your local area.

To book your appointment, contact the surgery during normal opening hours. Please be aware that the appointment may take place at another GP Practice in the area.
