Latest News & Updates

Due to a shortage of clinical staff and in the interests of safety for our staff and patients, we are now closed on Saturday mornings until further notice.

Unfortunately due to very high demand and a reduced staff, some of our services are reduced and processing of repeat prescriptions is taking longer than usual. Please order repeat scripts 2-3 days in advance. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Our Casualty department is open to treat on-the-day accidents and urgent medical issues on a walk-in basis. Patients with the most urgent medical need will be treated first, so wait times will change throughout the day. Our nurses and reception staff will advise you of current wait times.

Lab test results: Test results are reviewed by your GP. If needed, our GP or nurse will contact you to advise next steps. If you do not hear from us, there is nothing to discuss in your lab test results.

You can request a telephone consult instead of a face-to-face consult with your GP - it may be more convenient for you, and costs the same. Please ask at time of booking.

At the moment, all repeat prescriptions will be sent directly to your preferred pharmacy, so please advise this when you order your script or speak to our script nurse. Please also provide your up to date contact phone number with any phone messages.

We have a fracture clinic every Wednesday afternoon. Book for your follow ups: fractures, sports & other injuries, strains, etc. See our experienced GP Dr Alison Glover to keep your recovery on track.

We are accepting new patients. Start your enrolment online or enrol at our reception kiosk. If you are coming to the practice to enrol, call first on 07 872 0300 and we'll tell you what you need to bring with you.
