Monday 11 April - Closed

Your general practice team are here for you.

Locally the number of people testing postive for Covid is on the rise and we have an increase in staff absence, both admin and clinical, as a result.

Our practice(s) are still open and continuing to provide services as we have done throughout the pandemic. But, we may take longer to answer the phone than we would like, or we may need to cancel/reschedule appointments if our staffing levels reduce. Please be assured we are working to ensure impact on patients is mimimised wherever possible. 

When calling the practice the reception team will ask you questions to make sure you get an appointment with the most appropriate person for your needs. Our teams are working hard cover absence and we are working at a reduced staffing level, please be patient.

If you are unsure if you need a GP appointment you can call NHS111, or visit 111.nhs.uk

Alternatively, you can visit the local pharmacy for clinical advice on minor health concerns.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

We don't yet know what the guidance will be for primary care in response to the new 'Living with Covid' reponse, therefore until this is confirmed, please can you continue to:

-Wear your mask in the surgery

-Keep distance when in the surgery 

-Arrive no longer than 5 minutes before your appointment time

-Avoid attending for routine care when you have COVID

-Tell us if you have COVID symptoms, or are COVID positive when you have an appointment

That way we can keep all patient safe - including those who cannot be vaccinated or whose immune systems are weak.

It is not our policy to issue COVID-19 certificates for international travel purposes, this includes 'fit to fly' letters for COVID-19.
