Due to high levels of staff absence, our services are under pressure. Please expect possible delays - we thank you for your patience.

Several of our staff are currently unwell, which means our services are under significant pressure. Our team are working hard to ensure existing appointments are accomodated wherever possible. Please be kind to them if you are contacted to reschedule your appointment - we have significantly reduced capacity and they are all doing their very best. 

To help us focus on patients who need urgent care before the festive period, we kindly ask that requests for non‑urgent routine GP appointments or routine nursing appointments are held off until the New Year.

Please be reassured that our team is here every day for urgent medical care and to help with any enquiries. After 6.00pm, urgent medical advice is available through NHS24 by calling 111.

Thank you for your patience and understanding — it makes a real difference to our team at a very challenging time.
