  • Covid-19 and Appointments

Due to the new Covid-19 guidance all general practices have been instructed to reduce the number of consultations done face to face and to move towards a more telephone based model of care. We will now be offering telephone consultations for more of the services we offer and be looking at alternative ways of consulting with our patients including E-consultations, video consultations and increased use of text messaging.

Face to face appointments  will continue if our clinical team deem it necessary and an appointment will be made for you. However, before attending, if you develop any Covid symptoms do not attend the surgery and please contact us to cancel your appointment.

  • FACE MASK EXEMPTION LETTERS
