Face coverings
Throughout the pandemic we have strived to make the surgery as safe as possible for all who attend the practice.
From the 19TH JULY NOTHING WILL CHANGE. As per the recommendations of NHS England and other medical bodies - patients will need to still wear a mask, socially distance, use hand sanitiser in the surgery and staff will continue to wear PPE. We appreciate that it can be frustrating, but we know when people come to us they are sick and vulnerable so we feel it would be wrong to not take these small precautions. Thank you for helping us to help you!
EDIT - this also continues from March 2022 onwards.

Friends and Family Test
As with all organisations in the NHS, we are always trying to assess ourselves, and there is no better way of assessing this that the Friends and Family Test.
This is a simple one question survey which basically asks - would you recommend us to your friends and family!
We would really appreciate if you could download the form here and return it to us either at the reception, or in the post (via the mail delivery service or simply pop it into the letter box at the front of the surgery).
