New Website

We will very shortly be updating our website. This will have a completely different look and feel however it is designed to be much more interactive, easier to navigate and will have the option for patients to cancel appointments.

Text Messaging Service

We now have a text message based system at the Practice to support with appointments, flu clinics etc. Please can you make sure that we have your current mobile number. Should you not wish to receive text messages from us please let us know. This will be an extra service to the Practice and will not be replacing the normal contact details already in use.

Cancelling your Appointment - If you are unable to attend an appointment, please let us know.

By giving us as much notice as possible you are helping us to make sure that someone else is given your slot.

You can now request repeat prescriptions online using PATIENT ACCESS - to register contact Reception. Please note requests submitted over the weekend will not be processed until the next working day.
