Please Bear with us

We are very busy today because some of our staff are off unexpectedly.

We need to focus first on people with the most urgent health needs, and we are working hard to help everyone as quickly as we can.

If your request is routine or administrative, it would help us a lot if you could contact us on another day.

For common problems like earache, sore throat, sinusitis, shingles, impetigo, infected insect bites, or UTIs in women, you may get faster help by visiting a local pharmacist. They can give advice and treatment without you needing to see a GP.
