Important Information

Arriving Late ?

We are seeing large numbers of patients arriving late for their appointments recently.  Please note that if you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment you will not be able to be seen.  You will need to rebook a further appointment. 

Care Navigation

You should always consult with NHS 111 by phone or online and use their symptom checkers and guidance, or you can contact your local pharmacy who can provide advice and treatment free of charge for many medical conditions BEFORE requesting an appointment to see or speak to a GP, as many problems can be treated using these options. 

For dental and eye problems, you should contact your local community dentist or optician respectively.

Group A Strep

For specific information on Group A Strep and Invasive Group A watch the following video.
