​

  • You are no longer required to wear a mask when vising our surgery.  HOWEVER -  if you have respiratory symptoms, including coughs, please continue to wear a mask.  This is to keep  our vulnerable patients and staff safe.  If you have COVID, please DO NOT come into the building.

​​

  • For repeat prescriptions, please order these at least 10 days before your medication is due to run out and allow 72 hours for it to be sent to the pharmacy.   It is required that you have a check up with the doctor every 6 months.  There is a wait time to see the doctor, sometimes this can be 2 weeks - therefore you need to order early.  Leave a message on our prescription line.  Please state your name, date of birth, which pharmacy you use,  and what you require clearly. 

​

  • We do request that appointments are paid for at the time of visit.
