Your GP Practice and local pharmacies will be staying open during the May Bank Holidays on Friday 8 May 2020 and Monday 25 May 2020 to support you and your family during to the coronavirus pandemic.

Do not go to your practice unless you have an appointment, instead please use either the NHS App, e-consult online portal, or telephone your practice, to avoid the risk of spreading the coronavirus.


In line with the Government mandate for everyone to stay at home unless it's essential, anyone with coronavirus symptoms should stay at home and seek advice from your practice or contact NHS 111 Online. Anyone who needs to self-isolate and requires an isolation note for their employer can access one at NHS 111 Online; you do not need to ask your GP for this.

Your Practice is there to help so If you think you need a GP appointment for any reason, please  either visit e-Consult or call your surgery. You'll be asked to give as much information as possible in relation to your needs, many health concerns can be addressed without needing to go to a practice.
