PLEASE NOTE

Due to a bereavement, the surgery will be closed from 12.30pm on the above date.

We will re-open on Thursday 22 November at 8am.

Care with Courtesy, Dignity and Respect.

Our aim is to maintain and improve the health of our patients, by providing high quality equitable health care, which is flexible, responsive, friendly and efficient

Please note that, when you book an appointment, the receptionist may ask you why you need to be seen. This is because reception staff have been trained to ask certain questions to ensure that you receive the most appropriate medical care, from the most appropriate health professional, at the most appropriate time.

Please be assured that any information you provide is treated strictly confidentially and, if you wish, you can ask to speak to a receptionist in private, away from reception.

If, however, you feel that an issue is very private and you do not wish to say what this is, then this will be respected.

Thank you for your support.
