*** IMPORTANT ***

Due to reduced GP cover at the health centre today, we will be prioritising medical emergencies only.

If your query is routine or non-urgent, please refrain from contacting the practice today and instead call back next week when normal service resumes. This will help us ensure that patients with urgent medical needs receive the care they require.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish all our patients a safe and happy Easter and an enjoyable break.
