Like it or not, technology is having an increasing influence on our daily life. There are benefits to be had and we are now initiating various projects to improve the interaction with your Medical Centre.

Accessible through personal computers, smart phones and tablets, the website will be an important new interface to help patients and carers access primary care services.

You can see a GP or nurse practitioner Tuesday and Thursday early mornings from 7am, weekday evenings until 8pm and Saturday and Sunday mornings. See our website for details and to make online bookings. Primary Care Network.

It’s early days but we are already recruiting a clinical pharmacist for the network to help GPs and nurses deal with the ever-growing complexity of medicines management, and we are working to further improve quality within prescribing and end-of-life care. Flu Vaccinations. We are currently preparing for the
