UPDATE - Firearms Certificates
Unfortunately, we are having to change the way we take payment for the completion of Firearms Certificates.
Due to an increasing amount of patients not collecting their completed certificate resulting in outstanding invoices, we are now asking all patients to pay for the completion of their certificate prior to GP completion.
Apologies for any inconvenience.

Please respect all staff
The NHS uniform is a badge of honour for those who wear it but sadly among an outpouring of support for NHS workers at this time we are also hearing reports of abuse directed towards those in uniform and staff in GP practices and pharmacies. We understand these are exceptional times and while we are reminding our uniformed staff to cover their uniform wherever possible… abuse is NEVER acceptable and will not be tolerated. You may from time to time see an NHS worker out in the community but remember:
❤️ Be kind…that nurse may be buying food for a vulnerable person they are visiting
💚 Be kind…that community nurse is in between visiting patients in their homes
💙 Be kind…that health care support worker is picking up medication for someone who can’t get to the pharmacy themselves
💛 Be kind…that midwife is filling up their car so they can reach the next mother in labour
💙 Be kind…that domestic is running errands before going to work to keep our hospitals clean and safe
eConsult - Consult with your GP online!

It can help you with self diagnosis using its symptom checker and self-help information. It can help you determine the most appropriate place to go with your condition - which may be your local pharmacy or the national 111 help line, and it provides a mechanism to submit a secure eConsult direct to the GP of your choice.
