We started developing a garden in 2023- digging out beds, creating paths and seating areas, putting in a pond, planting beautiful plants.
The garden is here for people to enjoy- we are here on Saturdays (weather permitting!) Volunteers are always welcome. Please email growingtogethergardeningclub@gmail.com if you are interested in coming along to see if this may be for you!

Please take a look at our handy guide on how to order your prescriptions using our new prescription line. We’ve made some changes to improve patient safety and make the process smoother for everyone.

You can still order your medication in several other ways, including via your repeat slip, the NHS App, our website, or by using the paper slips available at reception.

Please see our Christmas closing dates for the festive period. We kindly ask that patients do not request double prescriptions or order medications early, as we will only be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day. We will be open as usual on all other days.

We have recently made changes to the way we work in order to help improve access and the service we provide to our patients. We would like to invite you to come in and discuss any questions or concerns you may have about these new systems. Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to the new processes.
