Your GP practice is open and if you need to see your GP, please call us on 01223 810030, visit our website or book via an app.  Our opening hours are shown below.

Appointments are being delivered face-to-face, via online video and over the telephone.  If you are asked to come into the surgery for a face-to-face appointment, please remember to wear a face covering.  Measures have been put in place to keep you safe from infection during your visit.

Please do not come to the surgery unless you have an appointment.  This will ensure we can continue to provide essential care safely.
