Alert: Patient Notice

From the 1st August, Fownhope Medical Centre will be implementing safe working guidance as set out by the British Medical Association. Once we have reached our maximum daily capacity, urgent queries could be redirected to urgent care services, namely NHS 111.

However, the Practice will continue to assess any requests and direct them as appropriate and ensure that patients needs are being met.

We appreciate that this may cause disruption to our patients’ usual care and we ask for your patience during this time. Get help for your symptoms here.
