A quick reminder to patients – we are holding appointments at both 17 and 200 Osborne Road.
Before you make your way to us, do please double-check the location. Your confirmation text or any messages received through Salvie will confirm which site you are booked in at.
Also, please remember that masks or face coverings are still required in all NHS settings, including both our sites. You can read our update on what to expect when you visit us in our news section.

This is particularly impacting how quickly we are able to answer your calls, which we appreciate can be frustrating for patients.

Patients can also use Salvie to consult with our Doctors, and use the NHS app for reordering prescriptions and other tasks.
