PLEASE NOTE: Patch's will be switched off over the weekend from 6:30pm on a Friday evening and will be switched back on Monday morning at 8am excluding bank holidays. This is to ensure that our patients seek more appropriate healthcare whilst we are closed. Any Patch's submitted on a Friday after 6:30pm will not be reviewed until the following Tuesday. You can still use the Patch's facility to look up general medical advice. You can also get advice from the NHS website or the NHS App. Your local pharmacist can help you with self care.
If your medical problem cannot wait until the practice is open please contact the NHS 111 helpline by dialling 111 from any phone, or by visiting NHS 111 online. NHS 111 online is also a good place to check your symptoms.
