❄️❄️ patient update Thursday 8th January 2026 ❄️ ❄️

Due to the snow fall overnight some of our staff will take longer to get to the surgery than expected.

For patients with an appointment between 8am and 9am you will shortly receive a text message offering an appointment later in the morning.

Cruden bay surgery is closed today and Hatton will be opened between 8am and 6pm.

If you have an appointment booked and wish to reschedule this can be done using our website, submitting an econsult or by calling the practice later in the day.

We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and are working hard to get staff safely to the practice.

Thank you
