GP SHORTAGE

Despite our very best efforts we have been unable to recruit and replace the last two GP retirees, this means that we are running on reduced capacity for appointments. Our staff are working hard to maintain a high level of service, however we would ask that you use the Health Service in a sensible manner. Please use your local pharmacists for any minor ailments, the great pharmacy teams in the area can provide you with lots of treatments.

Please order your medication in time, so that you do not run out, the minimum turnaround for prescriptions is 4 days. It is your responsibility to ensure you have enough medication at all times and WE ARE NOT able to offer an on the day service to order and collect medication.
