When outdoors this summer, keep an eye out for ticks. These are small brown bugs whose bite can cause Lyme disease.

If you find a tick on yourself, remove it, and contact your GP if you develop a circular red rash or a fever.

Her background spans both emergency and community settings, giving her a strong grounding in acute care and everyday family medicine.

Starting from next week we will be running an extra clinic once weekly over the winter period.
This is to help with the case load and give opportunity for people who work to still get an appointment after work.
The clinic next week will be on Monday evening between 1730 and 1930.
Consultations are available by appointment only.
Please ring reception 09651005 to make your appointment.
Kind regards

Dr Ahmed

Please consider getting the Free Influenza Vaccine if you have not already done so.
Most people are eligible so please check the link below and get your vaccine if you meet the criteria.
Now is the time to protect yourself and those who are vulnerable around you before Christmas🎄

A new variant A(H3N2) subclade K is now widely in circulation in the community and the vaccine available is expected to protect against severe disease.

The best time to get the flu vaccine is before the flu season starts. Find out when you get your flu vaccine and who can get a free flu vaccine.
