  • You can reduce delays by remembering it is one person – one problem – one appointment
  • Please do not abuse our services – in particular do not ask for a home visit when you are able to travel to the surgery.

  • We will not tolerate verbal or physical abuse towards any staff member.
    We reserve the right to immediately remove such patients from the practice list.
