To help stop the spread of COVID-19

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic we have had to change the way in which we work. The main doors to the surgery are closed as we wish to avoid patients having to come to the surgery as much as possible and most queries can be dealt with via the phone or using one of the electronic systems available.

If it is necessary for you to come to the surgery we can accept your prescription requests, samples and forms though the window in reception, if you have no other way of getting them to us. Please knock on the window and a receptionist will come to you.

We are continuing to offer a full service but most clinician appointments will initially be over the phone. If they feel you need to be seen face to face they will arrange for you to attend the surgery or we are also conducting video consultations. It is important that our patients continue to seek medical advice for serious conditions of if they develop symptoms that cause concern. We also strongly encourage patients to come for their screening and immunisations. 

Please do not attend the surgery if you have a new persistent cough, a raised temperature or a change in taste and smell
