Due to ongoing water issues in Sutton Valence and the surrounding areas, we are unable to run business as usual. We will have staff operating reception and phone services, as well as the dispensary and medication collections.

Some face - to - face pre-scheduled appointments may need to be seen at another practice by one of our clinical team, however affected patients will be contacted as soon as possible. Unfortunately, some appointments may need to be rescheduled.

Thank you for your understanding and we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
