Please note our surgery is closed on Friday 3rd April and Monday 6th April. If you require urgent treatment during this time please contact 111.

Due to the upcoming Easter break, recent departure of GP registrars, and while we await the arrival of new registrars, there are currently no more pre bookable routine GP appointments we can book as we are at full capacity.
In addition, there is a possibility of junior doctor strike action between 7th–11th April, which may further impact services.
We kindly ask that patients contact the practice from the week commencing 20th April to arrange non urgent pre-bookable GP appointments, and not before this time.
Please note this DOES NOT impact urgent appointments and patients who require a same day appointment should continue to use the triage system or contact the surgery on 01332 755990.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
