Our GP clinics are open

Please do not attend a GP clinic without calling and making an appointment first.

When you make an appointment, you must let us know if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. We can help you, but only if we know when you are coming.

Face masks, hand hygiene and social distancing

When you visit one of our sites, please:

• Wear a face mask. This is both a condition of entry, and the law.
• Maintain at least 1.5 metres between yourself and other clients and staff
• On arrival and departure, use the hand sanitiser provided.
