🏗️ Important Notice: Building Work at the Surgery 🏗️

From 15th September to 13th October 2025, our surgery will be undergoing some exciting building work to create additional clinical rooms and invest in modern, improved healthcare facilities for our patients. 🏥✨

This is a positive step forward to help us provide even better care, but during this time, there may be some disruption.

🔹 There may be some noise during the day.
🔹 Some appointments may be held in different rooms than usual.
🔹 Our car park may be busier than normal.

We’re working hard to keep disruption to a minimum, including doing as much work as possible at weekends and out of hours, but some inconvenience is unfortunately unavoidable.

🙏 We really appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. The improvements will benefit all our patients, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our updated space soon!
