Please be aware that from 11th March 2020, all routine face to face appointments have had to be cancelled in line with Public Health guidance regarding the coronavirus situation. However if you had a booked appointment, a clinician will be contacting you via telephone instead.

Please do not come to the surgery unless this is by prior arrangement as you will not be able to access our building to book an appointment or to collect your prescription . This is to reduce the infection risk to our patients and staff.

Please call us on 01727 855500 where you will be offered a triage telephone appointment where needed or given other appropriate advice and guidance.

We can also offer video consultations and we would recommend you make use of our website where you can complete an on-line consultation. If you have Patient Access available to you then you can send us a message or request your repeat medication.

While you may have heard that one of our patients has recently been tested positive for COVID-19 following travel to an affected country, this person has had no contact at all with this practice since returning to the UK. Consequently there is no increased risk to any other Maltings Surgery patients or staff. Please find further information here
