Please do not come to the surgery unless you have an appointment. Appointments are being delivered face-to-face, by telephone, or using video calls and messaging to your mobile or computer – the practice team will assess what is most appropriate for you therefore it is important to disclose your reason for contacting the practice. If you have a preference about how to access care you can discuss it with the practice.
If you are asked to come into the surgery for a face-to-face appointment, please remember to wear a face covering. Measures are in place to keep you safe from infection during your visit to the surgery.

ALERT – 5 NOVEMBER 2020
COVID-19 case numbers are rising rapidly across the whole of the UK. We must act now to control the spread of the virus. The single most important action we can all take to fight coronavirus is to stay at home, to protect the NHS and save lives.
Due to an incident at the Practice : Do NOT attend the Practice if you have recently been:
- tested positive or have COVID19 (including 14 days plus) – ring the practice in the first instance
- and / or still symptomatic or developed new COVID19 symptoms - You need to arrange to have a test, stay at home.
OUR STAFF WILL BE ASKING PATIENTS IF THEY HAVE ANY NEW OR EXISTING COVID19 SYMPTOMS BEFORE BOOKING ANY FURTHER APPOINTMENTS AND BEFORE YOU ENTER THE PRACTICE UNTIL END OF THE NATIONAL LOCKDOWN.
When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we reduce the spread of the infection. That is why, from Thursday 5 November until Wednesday 2 December, you must:
- Stay at home, except for specific purposes.
- Avoid meeting people you do not live with, except for specific purposes.
These new measures will reduce the growth rate of the virus which will prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed – Please support us by adhering to measures in place and do not risk our staff, their families and other patients health and safety.
