COVID-19

If you think you might have coronavirus or you’ve been in close contact with someone who has it, visit NHS 111 online coronavirus service for advice.

We are NOT able to refer you for a COVID test if you or a family member are experiencing symptoms. Please do not call us and ask for this test, you will need to go online  to nhs.111 and book your own test.

We know that this might not be convenient or easy but this is NOT a service or appointment that we are able to provide.

To help you make a decision on whether you or a family member should be attending school or work, here are a couple of handy decision trees to help you get to the right answer.

Should my child be attending school?

Should I be entering a shared work space?

Flu Clinics

If you fall into one of these groups then please call the practice to book an appointment or complete this simple request form and one of the team will call and book a mutually convenient time for you to have your jab

We are currently vaccinating during the day but may hold another Saturday clinic in the future
