We have been notified that Lloyds Pharmacy next door will not be open tomorrow for the collection or prescribing of prescriptions
Apologies for any inconvenience this will cause, the pharmacy is not owned or operated by the Practice but we wanted to make our patients aware

There is currently a nationwide shortage of blood bottles. This problem is due to an issue with the manufacturer. Apologises in advance if we need to cancel your blood test. Patients with the highest risk will of course still receive the blood tests needed

There's still a chance you could catch coronavirus after being vaccinated.

Your symptoms might be mild, but you could pass it to someone else and make them seriously ill.

Even if you've had the vaccine, you should still get a test if you have symptoms 👇
