❄️Patient notice 8th January 2026❄️

Due to the ongoing adverse weather with further snow overnight & continuing school closures, we have reduced staffing levels again today with staff either not able to get to work or facing delays in trying to get here . Therefore we will be providing a reduced service - however if you feel your condition is urgent pls call 0345 337 1150. We respectfully ask for any non urgent requests that you call when this period of disruption eases.

Appointments with the practice based AHSCP CTAC Healthcare Support Worker Team will be rearranged today unless urgent as the staff are unable to make it to the Health Centre. Affected patients will be contacted.
