Merry Xmas everyone. I’m sorry to say I just haven’t bounced back like I had hoped and won’t be back at work today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Just wanted to say thank you to all those who have sent me best wishes etc. I unfortunately wound up in extreme pain this week then in hospital but am home recovering. At this stage I plan to return Monday at the latest. There is a small chance it will be before then but I will see.

📢 CHA Update 📢

Dr Burford will be away for the remainder of the week. Despite popular belief, this is not a tropical getaway with cocktails — just some unexpected time off 😊

If you require an appointment, please contact our reception team who will be happy to assist you in arranging care with one of our other two doctors for the time being. On the day nursing assessments are available for triage as needed.

We apologise for any inconvenience and expect Dr Burford to return on Monday 22nd December.
Thank you for your understanding.
