Throughout the pandemic we have strived to make the surgery as safe as possible for all our patients and staff. We will continue to do so going forward.

Nothing will change at the surgery – patients will still need to wear a mask, socially distance and use hand sanitiser in the surgery and staff will continue to wear PPE. We understand that it can be frustrating, but we know that often when people come to us, they are sick and vulnerable so we feel it would be wrong to not take these small precautions that can protect people.

As a surgery, we are following NHS England guidance and communicating directly with patients who are eligible for vaccinations and boosters at any particular time. 

There is a national helpline if you are unsure as to whether you are eligible for a vaccination - please call 119.  Our local drop in vaccination centre which is open all year round is at Greendale.

Thank you

COVID-19 means we are all experiencing an unprecedented situation. Everyone reacts differently, and we will have periods where we find it more difficult to deal with. It’s okay not to feel okay. Talking to someone can often help.

If you cannot wait to see a doctor and feel unable to cope or keep yourself safe, it’s important to get support.
