Welcome to Mercheford House Surgery

To all of our patients this is a polite notice that although mask wearing is not the law from Monday 19th July in most public places it is still mandated in public health settings and within the NHS.

This is to continue to protect our staff and all patients attending the surgery as much as possible.

• Further information on wearing face coverings

At this time please do not go to the surgery, unless you are advised to do so by a member of the Practice team. Please wear a face covering and observe social distancing when attending the surgery.
