We have extended our opening hours. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, a few routine appointments are available with a GP from 7am. Please note that nurse appointments are not available, and the reception telephone will not be on.

Out of Hours
If you or your family need urgent medical care when the surgery is closed, please phone the usual daytime telephone number (9858822) and your call will be re-directed to the out-of-hours service.

Telephone Advice
The best time to call the surgery for advice is after morning clinics, usually between 11.30 and 12 noon. If the doctor you wish to speak to is still busy they will call you back, provided you leave a phone number, preferably a land line.
