Leaving correspondence and samples at the surgery
The surgery now has a dedicated post box in the entrance porch. Please post all correspondence in this box, please do not take into the surgery, as we are trying to minimise the footfall into the practice. The box will be opened each morning and all issues dealt with in the appropriate manner. Thank you for your cooperation.
A black sample box will be available in the entrance porch from 7 am until 1.45 pm. Please do not put samples in the correspondence box. Sample bottles are also available from a box in the entrance porch.
