Temporary Pause on Medicals

We regret to announce that due to the recent retirement of Dr McLoughlin and whilst we are in the process of inducting our new GPs, we have had no choice but to put a temporary pause on occupational and leisure related medical assessments. At present, we are hoping to begin providing these again from the beginning of June but this is still subject to change.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause, and recommend that anyone who needs a Medical of this nature during this timeframe seeks them out through a private hospital or other organisation. Thank you for your understanding.

Home Visits

Please only ask the doctor to call if the patient is too ill to attend either surgery. If you are in doubt, you may discuss the matter with one of the doctors on the telephone. Please try to phone before 11am.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Surgery.
