From the 1st October, the Practice will offer Extended Opening Hours Access to GP and Nurse appointments. These appointments will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 7:00am to 8:00am and Thursday evenings 6:30pm until 8:00pm.

The Extended Opening Hours service is for pre-booked appointments only. You will not be able to contact the practice by the telephone during this time

The Extended Opening Hours service is NOT a walk in service or to treat minor illnesses. Any patient attending without a pre-booked appointment will be directed to either the walk-in centre or to the out of hours’ service
