Please be aware that due to the winter season and high influx of patients, we are experiencing longer than usual wait times.
We ask for your patience and that you bear with us as all of our staff work incredibly hard to see you in a timely manner.
Oh and remember that just like you, our staff also do fall sick with the winter bugs so please keep that in mind when coming into Shorecare. Wear a mask and make sure to use the hand sanitisers so that we can continue to be fully staffed to treat patients.
One final reminder is that for non-urgent matters, please book in to see your GP.
Thank you!
