In line with current guidelines, all appointments will be carried out over the phone initially, and you will be only be asked to come into the practice if there is a clinical need for you to do so. This will help to minimise risk while continuing to ensure people get the care and advice they need.
Please do not come into the surgery unless you already have an arranged appointment.

In recent weeks, demand for testing has risen rapidly across the country, with much of the new demand coming from those without coronavirus symptoms.
Currently, testing for Covid-19 is strictly reserved for any person who displays one or more of the following symptoms:
Any person not displaying these symptoms should not request a test, as doing so could mean somebody with symptoms is unable to receive their essential test in a timely manner.
If you are showing symptoms of Covid-19 you can request a coronavirus test online by clicking here, or call 119.
You cannot book a test via the NHS111 system, or in person at your GP practice, pharmacy or hospital.
