We are fully operational at Penryn Surgery and Stithians today. However, due to a loss of internet/computer access, our Mawnan branch remains closed.

We apologise for the inconvenience and will provide an update as soon as more information becomes available.

Patients who were due to collect medication today from Mawnan and have run out are advised to contact the dispensary at Penryn on 01326 372502 for assistance.

Update 8.30am - all routes into Stithians are blocked therefore we will be unable to open the surgery there this morning. We will message or phone affected patients to rearrange.
We apologise for the inconvenience.

Good morning,
We have been advised that the road to Mawnan Smith is currently impassable, and as a result we will be unable to open the surgery there today.

We will be contacting affected patients and asking them to either telephone Penryn later today or Mawnan next week to rebook their appointment.

At present, we are uncertain whether Stithians can be accessed. We will update this notice and contact patients as soon as we have more information.

Please note that our phone lines are likely to be very busy, and we currently have a skeleton reception team answering calls. If you wish to cancel your appointment booked for today, we kindly ask that you do so via Klinik on our website, selecting the “Cancel appointment” option.

Thank you for your understanding.

Following the weather warning being upgraded to RED from 4pm, we are contacting patients with booked appointments to cancel/rearrange.

All travel should be avoided unless absolutely crucial. We're keen to ensure both our patients and staff are safe. Our phone lines will remain open for patients requiring us, as does 111.

Please everyone stay safe and follow the Met Office advice:

UPDATE 3PM: We are contacting patients with booked appointments this afternoon to cancel, to avoid unnecessary travel to and from the surgery during the now RED weather warning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

As it stands (1:30pm) we are open as usual.

With the current AMBER weather warning we are aware that patients may wish to avoid travelling to the surgery.

If you have an appointment booked this afternoon or tomorrow and wish to cancel +/- rearrange please let us know, either via our website/Klinik, or via phone if needed.
