Flu clinics are available now. If you are eligible for a free vaccination please book an appointment.

Named GP

All our patients are allocated to a named GP. As we have had some changes to our medical staff recently you may like to know who your named GP is. Please ask at reception. If you would like to change to another named GP we can usually arrange that for you but please be aware that some doctors have less availability than others and this may lead to you having a longer wait for appointments if you choose to only see that doctor. All patients are entitled to ask for appointments with any doctor of their choice.
