We are looking for two GPs – one a permanent position and one a fixed term role until September 2021. Start dates for both are flexible for the right candidate. We would envisage both roles to be 6 sessions per week but would be happy to discuss this flexibly with candidates.
The practice will be closed tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday 20th October) for staff training.
During this time you can still use our online services to get in touch with us.
Repeat prescriptions can be requested using SystmOnline or the NHS app. Our prescriptions page has full information and instructions.
For other medical issues, you can send a request through Salvie, our online consultation tool. We’ll respond to new messages when we reopen.
Salvie is a new, quick and easy way to access our services.
It’s online and available to patients 24/7, so you don’t need to wait for the practice to be open to ask for help.
You choose which Doctor you would like to help you, and even how and when you want them to reply.
It’s that simple.

A big thank you to all patients who completed a Friends and Family Test last month.
In September, we received 192 completed tests, with 185 of you saying you were likely or extremely likely recommend us to your friends and family. That’s a recommendation rate of over 96%!

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can ever do for your health. When you stop, it gives your lungs the chance to repair and you will be able to breathe easier. There are lots of benefits, and you will start to feel them almost immediately.
Stoptober is a 28-day stop smoking challenge, supported by the NHS. Evidence shows that if you can get through 28 days smoke-free, then you are 5 times more likely quit for good.
It’s much easier to give up smoking if you get the right support, rather than through will power alone.
Answer three quick questions about your smoking on the NHS website to get your free personalised plan. You will get access to professional services to help you, and advice on dealing with nicotine cravings. To help you along the way, there are free support tools like the Stoptober app to track your progress, and daily support messages you can choose to receive.
The sooner you quit, the sooner you will notice the changes to your body and your health.
And it’s not just your health that benefits. Think how much money you can save without buying cigarettes.
For someone who smokes 20 cigarettes a day, a smoke-free month will save them £327.32. Keep it up for a year, and that saving comes to £3,927.40!
