Latest changes in our services (updated 21/09/2021)
- We are still running a clinical telephone triage service to reduce the risk to patients & staff. That means a GP will call you to deal with you query over the phone first and invite you for a face to face appointment if they think it is necessary. Reception staff will ask you for a nature of your illness before booking an appointment.
- When attending the premises, please ring the entry phone located on the right hand side of the lobby door and our staff will attend you accordingly. Patients who are refusing to wear a face mask will not be permitted to enter. We will also check your temperature using a contactless thermometer.
