Christmas & New Year opening hours

Article Date: 16th December 2019

We are all looking forward to a healthy Christmas. You will probably be aware that your doctor’s surgery and local hospital are under extreme pressure, especially as there are a lot of viral infections around at this time of year. We want to be able to provide the best care to all of our patients, but especially those who are the most unwell. To help us to help you, there are a few simple things that you can do:

• Before ringing the surgery, please remember that your local chemist can help with most self-limiting illnesses.
• Stock up on simple preparations and medicines, such as paracetamol, Calpol/Nurofen for children, anti-diarrhoeal medicine, re-hydration mixtures and indigestion remedies – these are all available from your chemist.
• Remember to order your repeat medications in good time for Christmas.

Should you need medical advice or assistance whilst we are closed, please call the Out of Hours service on 111.
