IMPORTANT UPDATE 30.03.2020
PLEASE NOTE:
During the COVID-19 outbreak we will not be opening our main entrance doors until 9am (rather than 8am). This will enable us to see patients during the first hour who are most vulnerable.
Our main ‘phone lines will be open from 8am as usual.
Thank you for your support during these changing times.
