MASKS when visiting the Health Centre

We request that when visiting the Health Centre that you continue to wear masks. A lot of people visiting the health centre have conditions that could be severe if they contract COVID and wearing of masks is proven to reduce infection

If you need advice about your symptoms then please ring the NHS Helpline on 111 or visit the online symptom checker at https://111.nhs.uk/

Please note that  our main phone number has changed to:

01254 964640

Online booking of appointments are now triaged to ensure that you are booked in with the most appropriate healthcare professional for your problem.  This can be a member of our clinical / nursing team or can be a healthcare professional external to the practice i.e. one of our community pharmacists.

Please provide as much information as possible in the reason for your appointment.

We have also developed a nursing strategy for patients who receive check-ups for their chronic disease to ensure that their care is still delivered.

We hope that you find the new telephone system is an improvement and if there are more than 10 patients in the telephone queue at any one time you will be offered a call back, you do not lose your position in the queue.
