What to do when we are closed over the May bank holiday

What to do when we are closed over the May Bank Holidays
As the bank holidays approach it is worth thinking about what you would do if you or a member of your family became unwell over the holiday period.  We recommend that you:-
  • stock up on over the counter medicines.  Your pharmacist can also give you advice on treatments and products available.
  • check you have enough prescription medicine to see you through the holidays and if you are going away pack enough for at least the duration of your holiday. 
If you need medical assistance when we are closed you can:
  • phone the  NHS 111 service for medical advice by dialling 111.
  • pop in to your local pharmacy for advice and over the counter medication.
  • If your problem is urgent phone the NHS 111 service by dialling 111. To avoid putting undue pressure on this service, please only phone  if your problem cannot wait until we reopen.
  • phone 999 immediately in the event of a life threatening, medical emergency.

Please avoid using emergency/urgent services and hospital A&E departments for routine problems or for problems that can wait until we reopen.


We are closed on Monday 29th May 2017.

Text reminders not currently available

Please note that we are unable to send text reminders for the next week as we are in the process of changing to a new text message service. Preferably use our online service or telephone reception if you need to check the time of your appointment. The new text service will allow you to cancel appointments via text and enable us to send more information/instructions about your appointment and services available to you. This system will be live from Friday 19th May 2017. If we hold your mobile phone number on file you will be sent a text to ask if you would like to opt out. If you do not opt out you will receive text messages from us. You may opt out of this service at any time.
