🌟 Good Morning! We hope you had a restful bank holiday! 🌟

As we return to the practice today, we anticipate a higher volume of calls and appointments. If your query is routine and can wait, we kindly ask you to consider contacting us later in the week. This will help us prioritise urgent cases and ensure everyone receives the care they need.

For minor ailments, remember that your local pharmacy can offer expert advice and treatment without the need for an appointment. The NHS 111 service is also available for non-emergency medical advice.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
