Please can we ask that if you are able to do so please fill in the online form yourself rather than calling the surgery (A relative/friend can also fill it in on your behalf). This will free up the phone lines for the patients who are unable to fill it in themselves such as the elderly or people without access to the internet.

You can access the form on our website. It is very simple to fill out so please give it a go if you need to contact us. Please include as much information as possible for the GP to triage you appropriately.

Thankyou.

Unfortunately, we have experienced repeated misuse of our toilet facilities. We know it is inconvenient but due to these ongoing issues we will now be keeping them locked. If you need to use them, please ask at reception for the key.

Our priority is to maintain a safe and clean environment for all patients.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Just a reminder for all of our patients, needles have recently been found in the patient toilets. This is incredibly unsafe, as staff, patients, cleaners, and even children could accidentally get injured.

If you need to dispose of sharps for medical reasons, please always use a proper sharps bin or speak to any staff member, who can direct you safely and confidentially.

If you see any needles in the toilets, please inform a member of staff and do not touch or move them yourself.

Thank you.

Winter Coughs – what you need to know 🌬️❄️

Coughs are very common at this time of year – most are caused by viral infections and will clear up on their own within 2-3 weeks.🕒

👉You don’t usually need antibiotics, as these wont help viral coughs.
👉Rest, keep warm, drink plenty of fluids and try simple remedies such as honey and lemon in warm water (not for children under 1).
👉You can use over the counter medicines if needed – your pharmacist can advise what's best.

💡See your GP if:

Your cough lasts more than 3 weeks
You're coughing up blood
You have a high temperature or feel very unwell
You have chest pain or shortness of breath
