Young People

This web page contains information and sources of support that you may find useful and help you make an informed choices about healthcare.

As a practice we offer a confidential service and young people under the age of sixteen can be seen without an adult. Treatment and advice offered in confidence, which means we will not tell anyone else without your permission (except in exceptional circumstances). This includes being seen for contraceptive advice and treatment.

You can contact the surgery between 08.00am – 18.30pm to book appointments or to speak to a doctor or nurse for advice. If you require urgent advice after hours then you can call the surgery telephone number and the recorded message will give you a telephone number for the emergency Doctor.

The surgery also offers Smoking Cessation advice, please contact the surgery who will be able to refer you to our Smoking Cessation advisor.
