In order to prioritize essential and emergency work we have had to make changes at the surgery. Please be assured we are seeing all patients who need to see a doctor. You will be offered a telephone consultation with the doctor first. DO NOT come to the surgery unless you have been advised to by a member of our practice staff.

As always – if you have a critical medical emergency, phone 999.

What should I speak to my GP about?

If you wish to speak to someone about a non-COVID-19 medical concern then phone your GP. If your GP surgery is closed for the day and your concern cannot wait, you can still call NHS 24 on 111.
If you are speaking to your GP about a non-COVID-19 issue but think you might also have COVID-19 please let your GP know and don’t go to your practice.
