Ordering prescriptions

Patient notice The practice will be closed for the Christmas bank holidays on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th December. Patients who require their repeat medication are asked to ensure that they make this request by Friday 20th December, to allow enough time to process requests for repeat medication. This will also give your nominated local pharmacy enough time to dispense repeat medications. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

IMPORTANT PATIENT NOTICE

Due to a shortage on Doctors the practice will operate an urgent service only on Monday 18th November. Routine GP appointments will not be available for booking on Monday. We would ask that patients do not contact or come to the practice on Friday to book routine appointments. Routine appointments will be available for booking again on Monday 18th November for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
