Over 65s Flu Clinic:  We will be running a flu clinic for patients aged 65 and over on Saturday 9th October.  As per last year, you must make an appointment to attend, it will not be possible to turn up on the day.  We need to maintain social distancing so please turn up at your appointment time or as close to it as possible.  The car park will be closed to allow space for socially distanced queueing.  Please call our reception team to book your appointment on 01487 830340.  Please avoid calling between 8am-10am each morning as our phone lines are already exceptionally busy during this period with patients calling to book on the day appointments with our GP team.  Thank you.

Important news:  Visiting our practice? Please continue to wear a face covering and social distance

All of our COVID-19 secure measures remain in place and this will not change when Government guidance changes on 19 July 2021.

Patients are asked to continue to wear a face covering, unless they are exempt, and to follow social distancing when visiting our GP Practice. 

This follows the national Infection Prevention Control (IPC) Guidance for all healthcare settings and will help to ensure the safety of our staff and patients at all times.

Thank you for your continued support.
