We love to share our patient information leaflets and honestly love to see lively, happy children. Recently our waiting area and toilets have reallly been left in a bit of a state to say the least. (We won’t share the photos of the toilets)

Please treat the area with respect and leave your surgery the way you would like to find it. If you need assistance or if accidents happen (which we understand can, especially when you’re not feeling well) please speak to a staff member so we can discreetly help you and clean things up.

Some community pharmacies will remain open during this period and can answer questions on choosing and using the right medicine and provide advice on treating everyday ailments. NHS 24 also has a number of pharmacists who are able to answer medicine and pharmacy-related questions over the telephone on 111.

Could the owner of the items left outside the front door of the surgery last night please come and remove them. The surgery does not take these items back they need to be collected by whoever provided them. Thank you.
