Urgent advice: The Surgery will be shut from 13:00 on Thursday 18th April for Staff Training

Once a month all GP practices in Suffolk close down for an afternoon for staff training and education. This means we will not be able to offer any appointments during this time at the surgery but the doors at Barrack Lane only will be open for general admin and prescription queries. The training is essential to allow our clinicians and staff to give the best care possible to all of our patients and have the most up-to-date training.
