Welcome to Sunniside Surgery
Our mission at Sunniside Surgery is to work as a team, providing our patients with a high quality service at all times.
We are here for GP face to face and telephone appointments. Patients can also book in with the nurse for procedures such as smears, annual reviews, NHS health checks and much more.
If unsure please contact reception.
We also encourage patients to make use of the online services such as e-Consult and Patient Access for more flexibility and to assist the admin team.
There are appointments with the GP to book on-line for both face to face and the telephone.
We are aware of recent national reports of Meningitis B.
At this time, there is no impact on our local area, and we are waiting for official advice from the government. We will update you as soon as guidance is issued.
General symptoms of Meningitis B can include:
• Fever
• Severe headache
• Vomiting
• Stiff neck
• Sensitivity to light
• Drowsiness or confusion
• A rash that does not fade when pressed (this may not always appear) or seizures
Babies may show different signs, such as poor feeding, irritability, floppiness, cold hands/feet, or difficulty waking.
If you are feeling unwell or are worried about symptoms, please contact the practice so we can arrange for you to speak with a clinician.
