Friend and Family Test
Please let us have your views via this website (please see the "Have Your Say" section below) or by completing a form available at the practice.

Patient Forum
We are always looking for more patients to join our Patient Forum Group. For further information please contact Mandy Lawrence, Practice Manager, or click on "Further Information Patient Group" on the home page.

Named Accountable GP
The NHS standard contract for 2015/16 requires that all patients, including children, are allocated a named, accountable GP. The named, accountable GP will have overall responsibility for the care and support that the practice provides for you. This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do.
If you would like to know who your named GP is please contact reception.

Change of Telephone Number
It is very important that you let us know if you change your telephone number.
You can do this by completing:
* the on line change of details form at the foot of this page
* the change of details form available from reception
Alternatively you can include the details on your repeat prescription request.

FLU SEASON 2019/20

This year there are 3 types of flu vaccine for the following groups:

1. Anyone aged 65 and over

2. Eligible adults aged 18- 64 years of age

3. Eligible children and young people aged from 6 months up to 18 years of age who are at increased risk from flu.

We will arrange 3 separate flu clinics specifically for each group of patients.

Flu clinic appointments can be booked using GP online services or by contacting reception.

If you are unsure whether your child is eligible for a flu vaccination please contact reception before booking an appointment.
