Coronavirus Update

UPDATED 23rd March 2020

We are still taking appointments at both of our practices and are open for business. We are continuing to deliver the same quality health care that you have always received from our Medical Centres and clinical staff.

If you have an appointment booked to see one of our doctors this week please attend unless told otherwise, but please do not bring other family members with you unless absolutely necessary.

To ensure that we can continue to provide quality health care, all requests for new appointments will be given to your usual GP’s. Your GP will call you to determine your current health needs. If they are unable to assist you over the phone, they will make a suitable time for you to come to the practice for treatment.

Our priorities are your well-being and health and we appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.
