Urgent Care Clinic is for urgent problems that cannot wait for the next routine appointment with a Doctor. In order to assist your medical needs the receptionists are required to ask you several questions to ensure that you are booked with the most appropriate clinician. The information you provide will also help the clinicians to prioritise your call accordingly.

This service is available on a daily basis (Monday - Friday) and offers telephone and face-to-face consultations; these can be booked on the day by contacting Reception throughout the day on 01825 766055.

The nurses run general nursing surgeries as well as specialised clinics. The practice only carries a minimal stock of dressings. If specialised dressings are required, patients are advised that a prescription will be raised and they will be required to pay at the pharmacy.

Patients who have not been seen within three years or are 75 years and over may request a health check with a practice nurse.
