We would like to kindly thank all our patients for their patience while our computer systems are changing. We are progressing well but please bear with us as we familiarise with the new system and as there are some teething issues. Due to this we will be holding our Flu and Covid vaccination clinics a little later this year, at the beginning of November. We will be inviting those eligible over the next few weeks.

****** Important Information ******

The Practice over the next week will be working on the implementation of a new clinical IT system and this will place further significant demand on our services. This is a mandatory change for the Practice and we apologise for any inconvenience this causes our patients. This is beyond the control of practice staff.

* During this time we will have little or no access to computers therefore we cannot offer appointments and are only able to facilitate urgent medical needs that cannot wait. We remind patients about free pharmacy first services for common ailments including sore throats for those aged over 5 years, UTIs for females aged 16 to 64 as well as the morning after pill or for any sudden eyes issues please contact the optician.
* Routine test results will not be available - any urgent results will be followed up by the GP.
* If your repeat medication is due between 24th September and 19th October 2025 we have prepared your prescription and will either send to your nominated pharmacy or have ready for you to collect at the surgery on that due date. For any other repeat prescription ordering please telephone, using the dedicated prescription line which is open 24 hours / day - 028 71278912.
* Online repeat prescription ordering is closed - those who use this service will receive an email explaining what the new process will be.

We are hopeful that this will be a smooth transition and thank you for your patience and understanding at this time
