Opening Hours

! NHS Covid Protection Guidelines 

In line with NHS guidance, will continue with face masks, social distancing and our one way system until further notice.

This is to ensure the ongoing protection of patients (unwell and those yet to be immunised) and our staff.  

Our doors are now fully open, but we ask that you do not come into the building if you have any Covid symptoms - instead please wait outside and press the intercom to speak to a member of staff or phone 01603 251600. 

Appointments are being delivered over the telephone, face-to-face and via video consultation.  

All urgent same day doctor appointments will be via telephone consultation in the first instance.  The doctor will call you and if they then feel you need to be seen in person they will arrange this.

Some nurse appointments can be via telephone - you will advised this on booking.  If you physically need to be seen by a nurse ie; dressing, blood test, immunisation etc then you will be a booked a face-to-face appointment.
