Clinics

We are running pre-booked clinics from 6 October 2020 up to 4 days a week with our Practice Nurses. These will run from 8.30am – 10.00am (Monday and Wednesday normally) or 5.00pm – 6.30pm (Tuesday and Thursday normally)

Appointments can be booked via Online Patient Access or the NHS App, or by contacting the Practice.

Appointments are 5 mins only, so please ensure you allow sufficient time to book in with Patient Services on your arrival befre your appointment.

Vaccinations may be offered opportunistically if attending the Practice for another medical reason, where appropriate.

Parents and Children are not to attend the Practice if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and who should therefore be self-isolating.  Please cancel your appointment and rearrange at a later date
