Unfortunately, due to Covid we are extremely short staffed this week.
We would appreciate your patience answering your calls this week.  If your enquiry or request is non urgent please call later in the day so that we can deal with anything urgent in the mornings.
We will try and get through your repeat prescription and fit note requests as quickly as possible, but we will require 48 hours notice to get these processed.
Thank you.

We have a new registrar (trainee GP) at the practice, Dr Ahmad Tariq. He will be with us initially for a period of 6 months. We wish him a warm welcome to the practice.

Your GP surgery will be closed for the September weekend bank holiday on Monday 26th of September.

If you are in need of medical attention during this time, the Right Care, Right Place website can offer information about the services available to you.

Please be aware this will create an increased demand on your surgery upon re-opening on Tuesday 27th September. We would kindly ask that you only contact the practice on the day of re-opening if your enquiry is essential.

Please ensure you have enough medication to cover this date as some pharmacies may also be closed on Monday 26th September.
