We have been experiencing technical issues with our internet this morning, which has affected our clinical system and telephone lines.

We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience but we do have lots of appointments available all day, so please pop in to the practice if you would like to see a GP and we can organise this for you.

This is a city wide issue and our IT providers are working tirelessly to fix the issue.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

It’s best to avoid being out in the sun when it’s at its strongest between 11am and 3pm during the period from March to October.
