On Thursday 26th February, we are undergoing an upgrade to our telephone system. There may be some disruption to our inbound telephone lines during this period.

The numbers are expected to migrate to the new system at different times in the day, so if you are unable to reach us on our main number, please either come into the surgery, complete an online consultation on our website . You can also send an email to kmicb.ashsurgeryreception@nhs.net for general enquiries or for prescriptions, send an email to kmicb.ashsurgeryprescriptions@nhs.net.

Our staff will assist in directing your message/request to the right person or team.
