Important update about online consultations 🩺💻

We are now using SystmOne Connect to triage all online consultations, instead of Rapid Health.

Nothing else has changed. Where you would normally see Rapid Health and the “Book Appointment” tab on our website, this has now been replaced with “Online Requests.”

Please use Online Requests to submit your request, and our team will triage it and advise you on the most appropriate next step.

**✈️ Travelling Abroad This Summer?**

Planning a holiday? Before you travel:

✅ Check whether you need any travel vaccinations. If you're unsure, complete our **Travel Vaccination Questionnaire** on our website, and we'll advise you on what you may need.

💊 Make sure you have enough of your regular prescription medication for your trip.

⏰ Please allow the surgery plenty of time to process any vaccination or medication requests before you travel, as these cannot always be arranged at short notice.

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday! 🌞

Due to the upcoming departure of GP registrars, and while we await the arrival of new registrars, there are currently no more pre bookable routine GP appointments we can book as we are at full capacity.

We kindly ask that patients contact the practice from the week commencing 10th August to arrange non urgent pre-bookable GP appointments, and not before this time.
Please note this DOES NOT impact urgent appointments and patients who require a same day appointment should continue to use the triage system or contact the surgery on 01332 755990.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
