DO NOT COME TO THE SURGERY
To help reduce the potential spread of COVID-19 infection, we are advising all patients to phone instead of calling down to the surgery.
Our staff will ask you some questions so that the G.P. can triage your call. If appropriate the G.P. will call you back.
PLEASE RING between 8.30-11.30am for enquiries to be dealt with that day. After this time the G.P. will only deal with Urgent Matters.
If you need a prescription please phone the surgery prescription message line. All prescriptions will be sent to a nominated Pharmacy. Do not call to collect prescriptions from the surgery. If you have an appointment we will be in contact with you before the appointment date to advise you whether we still want you to attend.
