Information for patients
As a practice we have remained open throughout the COVID 19 pandemic. Along with other practices we have had to change the way in which we allocate appointments and consult in order to maintain social distancing and keep our staff and patients safe.
All entry to the practice is now controlled, with patients being asked to attend only if a clinician has arranged it, therefore when you call the practice to book an appointment, the Reception staff will arrange a telephone appointment in the first instance with the most appropriate clinician.
Due to the nature of the pandemic, we are also not booking appointments more than a few days ahead, this is to ensure that we do not need to cancel multiple patients if a clinician or staff members have to isolate. Please be patient with the staff, they may ask you more questions about why you are calling, this is to enable them to ensure you speak to the correct Healthcare Professional. You can still access our Physio, Mental health & wellbeing nurse and listening service by contacting Reception and asking for an appointment

Covid-19 Vaccine
While many of us are eager to receive this Covid vaccine as soon as possible, we are asking that everyone is patient so that we can deliver this complex programme as effectively as possible. This will be in waves, starting with those aged 80 plus from January 2021 onwards and working down the age groups towards spring and early summer.
You will be contacted directly when it is your turn to be vaccinated. Please wait until you are before attempting to make an appointment or turning up at the practice.
