Community Nurses
The community nursing

assessment for patients confined to their own homes, and to
those who require nursing care whilst in a
residential home. They accept referral from all sources, for
any patient registered at this practice.
They can be contacted on 01223 885496.

A Well baby clinic is held at the surgery on the 2nd and 4th Monday
of the month between 2.00pm and 3.00pm; excluding bank holidays. No
appointment is necessary. You will be notified when your child's
vaccinations are due; please then phone the surgery to make an
appointment. Details of the immunisation programme can be found at
