Following a recent 48-hour data outage which affected many GP Practices, we are now experiencing higher than usual demand and a backlog of appointments. Please be assured that our team is working hard to arrange appointments and support all patients, but this may mean delays, for which we apologise. We understand this may be frustrating and we appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support - staff are here to help and will try their very best to find solutions in what are difficult circumstances. Thank you.
