Please can we remind patients if you see an appointment for yourself in the NHS app labelled admin,this is not an actual appointment .
This is us working in the background maybe filing blood results, completing reports, authorising prescriptions.
If in any doubt please call reception.
Thanks AMG

Please can we remind all patients that we have a zero tolerance on abuse towards our staff and those being seen in the Practice.
This includes physical , verbal, racial and religious abuse.

Due to flooding in areas, we are working with reduced staff presence in practice so we might be in contact with you to rearrange your appointment today. Unfortunately home visits are not possible at present.

Please check local road conditions before setting out. We can rearrange appointments if it's not safe to travel.

If possible please use your NHS app or the contact link on our website to let us know about this, rather than phoning.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please be aware our staff are struggling to get to work this morning due to severe flooding.
Your appointment may be late or cancelled due to this.
We will aim to let patients know if this is the case.
Thanks for your understanding.
