The practice will be operating a telephone based system for GP appointments during the coronavirus outbreak. All patients will be added to a list to receive a telephone call from the GP who will then be able to arrange a face to face appointment if it is needed.

Please note that during this period we will not be booking follow up appointments for patients but asking you to contact us on the day that you need your appointment.

This enables us to better monitor the daily demand for our services and ensure that we have appointments available for people when they need them the most.

We would like to thank all our patients for your support over the past few months and for treating all of our team with courtesy and respect even when the situation may have been frustrating.
