Noticeboard

Important notice – we are changing the length of time you can book an appointment in advance from 4 weeks to 2 weeks.  We are hoping by doing this it will help to reduce the rate of patients’ that do not attend the surgery, which results in a loss of appointments. Please bear with us during this transition period.
