We sadly announce that Dr Booth is retiring from the surgery. As many of you will be aware he has been absent from the practice for several months and we are sure you will agree that he will be a huge miss to the practice and patients.
We are in the process of recruiting a GP and there will be an update in due course.
If you would like to follow us on Facebook we now have a page for the surgery.
We ask that all patients who attend surgery for any reason wear a mask/face covering.
This could be a mask, a scarf or any other fabric covering.
For advice on masks please visit the link below:...
https://www.gov.uk/…/how-to-wear-and-make-a-cloth-face-cove…
While wearing your mask please follow some useful advice
1. Do not touch or adjust while wearing.
2. Do not borrow or lend
3. Make sure it fits tight but comfortable
4. Make sure it is clean (clean daily or when needed)
5. Wear the right side out.
6. If there is damage to it, throw it away.
7. If it is stained, throw it away.
8. If it is damp, change it.
9. Don’t wear your partners or family members, or anyone else’s.
