Noticeboard

Easter Public Holidays

The practice will be closed on Friday 14th April and Monday 17th April, and will reopen on Tuesday 18th April. Please note that we are only able to offer emergency appointments on 18th April.

If you require urgent medical attention while the practice is closed, please telephone NHS 24 on 111. In the case of an emergency, please dial 999 for an ambulance.

Urgent Prescription Policy

Due to an increasing number of requests for repeat prescriptions to be issued urgently, priority will only be given for prescriptions that cannot be missed eg diabetic medications, inhalers, angina sprays and epilepsy medication.

Most medications can safely be missed for a few days and you may be advised that your prescription will be issued routinely.

Please note that in order to ensure patient safety, we do not accept any requests for medication over the telephone.
