Bottisham Medical Practice

In light of the current status in the UK with the Covid-19 pandemic we have implemented some changes to how we are managing our patient care.

We have temporarily suspended general access to the building.  PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THE SURGERY.  However please be reassured we are still here if you need us.  We are trying to conduct most appointments over the telephone and we are also using video consultations. For those who are required to attend the practice you will be asked to wear a face covering.  This will be a cloth mask or scarf which covers the mouth and face.  

If you need to speak to a GP please call the surgery and speak to the Reception Team on 01223 810030 and they will be able to assist you with arranging a telephone consultation.

Thank you for your patience and co-operation at this difficult time.
