About the practiceThe way that patients access healthcare has changed, to keep our patients and staff safe. See NHS Inform for more information about how to care for yourself and when to seek help – there are many symptoms and conditions for which you may not need to contact the GP surgery at all. Should you require additional advice, the following list suggests who would be most appropriate to contact for particular problems:
We are delighted to announce that from Wednesday 29th July 2020 a new service is being launched which enables your local pharmacist to prescribe a wide range of medication for common problems, without you needing to see a doctor. This service is available to ALL patients and is free of charge. Please click here for more information.
Pharmacy FirstPatients are able to book ten minute routine GP appointments online through our patient access service. If you have not registered for this service please contact reception to arrange for your personal log on details. More info…
Please allow 2 working days for any repeat prescriptions to be ready to collect from the surgery. You may order repeat prescriptions by phoning your request to your usual pharmacist (this is often quicker than contacting the surgery); completing the tear off section of your last prescription (on the right hand side of each repeat prescription) and putting it it into the red box in reception; online using our Patient Access service More info…
All GP practices are contracted to provide essential services which is the basic treatment of ill people. We also provide the additional services including Child Health Surveillance with the Health Visiting team; Contraceptive Services; Maternity Services with the Midwifery team; Immunisation of Children; Cervical Smears; Travel advice and selected immunisations.

An increasing number of patients are attending late for their appointments. If you arrive 5 or more minutes late for your appointment you will not be seen. If you are less than 5 minutes late you may be seen, but this will be at the Doctor or Nurse’s discretion. You may be offered the option to wait until there is a free space in the clinic (if there are any empty appointments) – this could take from a few minutes to several hours. If we hold an up to date mobile number for you, a text reminder of your appointment can be sent 24 hours in advance. Please check with reception that you have given us permission for this.
