We no longer offer an open surgery at the practice so please only attend for an appointment at the request of the Doctor or if you have arranged an appointment with the Practice Nurse or Health Care Assistant.  We remain available for both routine and urgent care for both registered and temporary patients.

The best way to contact the surgery is to submit an eConsult request on this website. All online requests and phone calls will be triaged and a GP may phone you. We are only seeing patients who have first been assessed by a member of our team.

The practice telephones will continue to be switched of daily between 1pm and 2pm

Please continue to wear a Face Covering that covers both your nose or mouth if you have been asked to attend the practice. If you do not have a face mask one will be provided for you.

COVID-19 vaccination

If you have a general query about the COVID-19 vaccine, please look on the NHS Inform website or use the national helpline 0800 030 8013 which is open from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.

Vaccine rollout to the general public, based on age and underlying health conditions, will start as soon as possible, and will depend on vaccine supply. This is likely to be at the start of the new year so please look out for a letter and a leaflet arriving in the post which will invite you to make an appointment for your vaccine. The first group to receive this will be the over 80s.

Please avoid calling with any general queries about the COVID-19 vaccine as we are unable to give you any more information at this stage and we need to try and keep phone-lines open for people who are unwell and needing medical care. Many thanks for your ongoing patience and cooperation.
