Following this morning's flood at our Northdown site, we are open to patients with appointments this afternoon.

Unfortunately we are still unable to accept Anima requests today.

There is a water leak at our Northdown site which has flooded part of the surgery.
For this reason we have had to close the site to patients - if you have a telephone consultation booked, this will still go ahead.
We are unable to accept Anima requests today.

Please be patient with us during this time.
