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.

COVID vaccinations will be available from next week for the most at risk groups, due to small delivery amounts and surgery capacity we ask you not to contact the surgery.

The NHS will start to invite people in priority order of risk and those eligible will be able to book an appointment on the National Booking Service at other local sites.
