๐Ÿ”ง Construction Update & Temporary Waiting Room โ€“ From Wednesday 14th May ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

You may have noticed that our external construction works have been progressing steadily since March 2025 โ€“ and weโ€™re pleased to say everything is going well! (See photos attached) ๐Ÿ“ธ

As we move into the next phase of our improvement project, internal construction works will begin from Wednesday 14th May, lasting approximately 8โ€“10 weeks.

What this means for our patients:

To allow work to take place inside the building, our admin team will be temporarily relocating into the current patient waiting area, and patients will instead wait in a temporary marquee โ›บ๏ธ located outside the front of the surgery.

Please note during this time:

โœ… The check-in desk will still be available at the front of the surgery โ€“ please follow signage on arrival.

โฐ There may not be a self-check-in screen available but we are working to see if we can keep one in place โ€“ please therefore arrive early to avoid being late for your appointment due to possible queues.

โ™ฟ๏ธ Disabled parking will be temporarily relocated but clearly marked โ€“ please leave these spaces for those who need them.

๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ Limited parking is available at The Church next door or on nearby side streets.

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ Our staff will be on hand to help if youโ€™re unsure where to go.

We know this may cause some disruption, and we really appreciate your patience and cooperation while we work to improve your facilities ๐Ÿฅ.

Stay updated here or speak to our team at your next visit.
