Mask Wearing from 19th July 2021
Mask wearing will become optional from 19th July 2021 as per government guidelines announced on Monday 5 July 2021. We must stress however, that the same guidance suggests caution and recommends ongoing wearing of masks in closed spaces, small areas and where vulnerable people will be present.
As you will often, be in close proximity to our clinicians when you come to us, we will continue to ask patients to wear masks on our premises until further notice. This is to minimise disruption to our service and ensure those most vulnerable are still protected when accessing care.
NHS Patients, Staff and Visitors Must Continue To Wear Face Coverings in Healthcare Settings
England’s Chief Nurse has today reminded the public that everyone accessing or visiting healthcare settings must continue to wear a face covering and follow social distancing rules.

Join the Patient Participation Group
The Practice would like to revive the Patient Participation Group, with the intention that patients’ views and suggestions would become an integral part of our ongoing practice development.
We hope that members would become involved in decisions about the range and quality of the services we provide.
We hope to attract interest from patients of a mixed age and gender and hope that representation will be covered from across our practice area.
If you are interested in joining the group, please contact our receptionist to obtain a form to register as a member or alternatively you can click here to register through our website
