You may now enrol to book APPOINTMENTS and REQUEST MEDICATION on-line using Patient Access. You may only enrol yourself. To enrol you MUST bring photographic ID to reception. We reserve the right to cancel online services for each patient should the service be abused in any way. If you have more than one health problem you want to talk about please ring the surgery to book a double appointment.
***COVID-19 CHANGES TO HOW YOU ACCESS YOUR GP SERVICES***
From 1st October 2020 you must telephone the surgery to speak to a receptionist
We will then arrange the best care for you depending on your need. This will likely be a phone call or video call. If a doctor or nurse feels you need to be seen face to face in the surgery a mutual time will be arranged.
The window will be open between 2.45pm and 3.45pm each day for anything that the clinician has asked you to collect or drop off ONLY.
ALL PRESCRIPTIONS ARE BEING SENT TO YOUR NOMINATED PHARMACY.
We want to reassure you that your GP practice is still here to look after you and your family.
Please DO NOT arrive more than 5 minutes before your appointment time. You may be asked to sit in your car or come back closer to your appointment
Thank you

Coronavirus (COVID-19) update
If you need to visit the surgery, please be aware of the following changes we have made which will help to reduce the spread of infection.
Wearing a face covering or face mask
Following the Government's new guidance on the extended use of face masks in NHS healthcare settings, all patients and visitors will need to wear a face covering or a face mask when entering the building.
You should bring your own face covering or mask.
This new guidance will be enforced from Monday 15 June.
There may be exceptions such as young children and people with breathing difficulties.
For further information, please speak to a member of staff.
It's important that you wear and remove your mask properly, as this can be a source of infection otherwise.


Please remember that face masks are not an alternative to social distancing and good hand hygiene, which are the most important precautions we can take against infection.
Social distancing
We have installed a number of signs and stickers to reinforce the social distancing regulations.
You must keep two metres apart from other people and should walk on the left hand side of corridors and stairs.
If you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms (a high temperature or a new, continuous cough, fever, chest tightness or breathlessness) please use the NHS 111 SERVICE or contact the practice with your concerns.
Do not go straight to a doctor's surgery or hospital.
HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF GERMS:

To prevent the spread of viruses and infections to and from others, we recommend that patients phone the surgery for all appointments and enquiries.
Our phone system has been changed recently to cope with the demand
