Because of the snow, the surgery will be CLOSED initially this morning until we can work out what sort of service it will be possible to offer.
We will post an update at 11am.
Until then, please call 111 for any problems that really can’t wait (or, of course, 999 as always for an emergency)

The UK is facing a long, drawn-out flu season, the boss of the NHS in England is warning.

Sir Jim Mackey said there is "no doubt" this winter will be one of the toughest the health service has faced.

It comes as flu rates have started climbing early this year, which is causing concern because the winter vaccination campaign has only just got under way and there are lots of vulnerable people yet to get protected.

NHS England is issuing a "flu jab SOS", urging those eligible for the free vaccine to come forward quickly for it.

Vulnerable urged to come forward for flu jab quickly as virus has come early this year.

Lifestyle Questionnaires

We have recently sent out messages asking patients about their smoking habits. We have had a good response so far but it would be really helpful if everyone who receives one completes the questionnaire.

Many thanks.
