Please visit https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice news-and-information for advice from the Foreign Office regarding travelling to specific areas of the world .

Frequently Asked Questions For Patients
Why is the surgery not operating normally?
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have needed to suspend virtually all routine services. This is to reduce the risk to patients and staff.
Please note the main doors to the surgery will be closed for the foreseeable future to reduce the risk of the virus within the surgery.
What should I do if I think I need to see a doctor urgently?
Please telephone the surgery, your name will be added to a telephone call-back list and a clinician will ring you back.
Please be aware that administrators will ask you some relevant questions about why you feel you need to speak with a clinician.
We are signposting, so you may not always get to speak with a clinician.
A clinician will contact you and make a telephone assessment, a lot of concerns can be dealt with easily over the telephone.
If the clinician feels that you need to have a face to face assessment, special arrangements will be made for you to attend the surgery.
