Resident Doctors Strike – Friday 14th November 2025, 17th November 2025 and 18th November 2025.

Our GP trainees, along with other resident doctors, are taking industrial action over pay.  As our GP trainees are not in the practice on the dates above, we will therefore have fewer appointments available than normal.  If you think your problem can be dealt with on a non-strike day, we’d be grateful if you could contact the surgery after the industrial action.  Thank you for your support and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.

From the 1st October 2025 the way to contact the practice and book an appointment will be changing to align with the new modern general practice model of total triage via eConsult. For more information please follow the link eConsult

Surgery Closure

The surgery will be closed for staff training on Thursday 27th November 2025. 

The surgery will close at 13:30 and re-open at 14:30.
