All GP practices are affected by the current national shortage of blood tubes and are taking urgent steps alongside our hospitals to prioritise their use for people with the greatest clinical need. This includes testing for serious conditions such as cancer. We are following national guidance which has been issued in response to the shortage.
As a result, we need to cancel and delay a number of patient appointments for blood tests deemd routine or non-urgent. If you have a routine blood test appointment the reception team at the surgery will be in touch directly if they need to cancel your appointment, this will be by phone or by text message.

Services
New Patients
Report
If you register for this you will need to come to the surgery with two forms of identification. One must be photographic, i.e. passport, driving licence, bus pass, and one must contain evidence of your address i.e. utility bill. We will then finalise your registration so that you are able to make telephone appointments with your doctor and you will be able to order your repeat prescriptions.
Practice Staff
Report
We have two practice nurses who, between them, provide a full service five days a week. In addition, they run a number of specialists clinics. They are happy to see patients regarding any health matters and all consultations are completely confidential. Our receptionists organise appointment times, answer your telephone enquiries and welcome you when you come to the surgery.
Summary Care Record
Report
Storing information in one place makes it easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when your GP practice is closed. This information could make a difference to how a doctor decides to care for you, for example which medicines they choose to prescribe for you. No, it is not compulsory.
