The surgery will be closed on the following dates over Easter:

Simple steps such as having a well-stocked medicine cabinet at home can help with minor
illnesses and injuries, and with us being closed Good Friday and Easter Monday we want to
remind patients to ensure their repeat prescriptions are ordered in advance.
For immediate, life-threatening emergencies such as stroke, blacking out or severe blood loss,
patients should dial 999 or got to their local A&E department.
For other illnesses and injuries there are a range of services available. Pharmacists can help with
many minor ailments such as colds, flu, headaches, sore throats, ear aches, emergency
contraception, skin problems and more.
