Appointments update During The COVID Pandemic

We are operating a "total triage" system. That means you need to have a telephone discussion with a clinician who will try and help you. If a face to face appointment is needed, they will arrange for this to happen at a time and place which keeps you and us safe. We are also using video calls as needed.  You can also use our e-consult system accessed below

All patients who need to be seen face to face should arrive wearing a face covering, to help keep staff and other patients safe.

Please do not come into the practice without an appointment.

 Please note that Face Coverings & Mask Exemption Letter Requests will be refused as Government guidance suggests there is no requirement for evidence for exemption. For further information please follow  this link Face Mask Exemption Poster.
