***IMPORTANT UPDATE***
We are currently only accepting prescription requests online and via telephone. DO NOT come into the surgery to put in a request as you will not be allowed in the building without an appointment pre-approved by a GP
If you have symptoms associated with coronavirus including a new continuous cough or a high temperature, you are advised to stay at home for 7 days.
Do not book a GP appointment or attend your GP Practice. If your symptoms are serious, or get worse, NHS 111 has an online coronavirus service (https://111.nhs.uk/) that can tell you if you need further medical help and advise you what to do.
Only call 111 direct if you cannot go online, or are advised to do so by the online service. For the latest Covid-19 advice please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
If you do not have any of the above symptoms and want to have an appointment with one of our GPs, nurses or healthcare assistants, please DO NOT come into the surgery but instead ring our reception team on 01670 712 821 between 08:15 and 18:30
