HEARING AID BATTERIES AVAILABLE FROM THE SURGERY
The Freeman Hospital are once again supplying us with free hearing aid batteries which will save patients a trip to Berwick or further afield. These are available from Reception but please try to avoid calling in at busy times such as 8.30am-11am.
Continuity of Care
Patients with ongoing problems have better outcomes when looked after by the same GP. We therefore encourage patients to stick to being cared for by the same GP where practicable. Our staff will try to help our patients achieve this goal. Sometimes this may mean being asked to wait a day or two to see your regular GP if the problem is not urgent even though there might be sooner appointments with other GPs.
SURGERY CLOSED LAST THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH
We will be closed on the last Thursday of each month between 1pm and 4pm for staff meetings and training. You will not be able to collect medication during this time
If you need non urgent medical advice please call 111. In an emergency dial 999.
If you need to speak to a doctor urgently which can't wait until we resume surgery at 4pm, a mobile number will be available on our answering machine.
