SURGERY UPDATE!!! Important for those with Face to face appointments throughout November and some of December.

We are now moving into the final phase of the surgery building work being carried out to update the surgery. With the final phase this includes the whole of the reception room and waiting area and therefore the main front door will be closed off and inaccessible.

We will be asking ALL patients to come through the very back door (for those who know the surgery well it is by clinic Rooms E and F). There will hopefully be a doorbell for patients to ring and a receptionist will help you into the building and check you in.

Please do bare with us and be patient as this is going to be chaotic for everyone but will be very worth it once the building work is complete.

It's our last main flu and COVID clinic running today at the surgery! We know the weather isn't great but if you are booked in for your flu vaccine (and if eligible your COVID) please do still attend. Patients will be queuing within reception to keep you as dry as possible and only arriving 5 minutes before will prevent unnecessary queues.

If you have received a text or letter directly from the surgery to book your flu or COVID and have not done so we do have some availability for you to attend the surgery between 2-3pm as a walk in.

And a big thank you for the staff taking time out on their weekends.

ASKMYGP. We apologise but there is a nationwide error with AskMyGP. We kindly ask you to only call our reception team for urgent medical matters today. We will update as soon as we have news.
