We are offering extended hours at the surgery on Monday evenings and Wednesday evening, According to guidance from NHS England, the following "rules" will have to be followed:

• Extend opening hours for the routine pre-bookable appointments.
• We cannot undertake non-NHS Work in extended hours, so for example we would not be able to do HGV medicals
