Noticeboard

CLOSURE 12 - 21 AUGUST 2026

As part of a national rollout, our practice will be changing to a new clinical system.

This is a major change for the practice and from 12 August to 21 August we will be able to provide emergency services only.

We expect to be fully back on line from 21 August, although we may be operating at a slightly reduced capacity for a short time while our team adapts to the new system. This change will affect both our clinical and administrative services.

Please note that between 12 August and 19^th August we WILL NOT be able to issue repeat prescriptions. Our prescription line will also be closed during this time. We kindly ask patients who are due repeat medication during these dates to order it at the beginning of August where possible.

We will continue to keep you updated with any important information and thank you for your patience and understanding while we make this transition.

The Green Medical Practice.
