Some of you will be fasting as part of Ramadan observations. If you take medication regularly to treat your long-term health condition, you may experience some side effects. Please speak to one of our Doctors or Practice Pharmacists about safe fasting whilst taking medication.

All appointments can be requested through our online Total Triage system. If you can’t complete the form yourself, please don’t worry – our staff at both sites will be able to help you

Forms open at 8am every working day – click here to go straight to the form to request an appointment.

Fit (sick) notes

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Self Certification – Statutory Sick Pay

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a fit note:

  • fill out a fit note request form
  • visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm for help completing the form

Your fit note will be sent to you electronically once it is completed.

Find out more about fit notes on the NHS website.
