How to help our clinics run smoothly when attending Abington Medical Centre:

• Please do not attend if you have a high temperature/fever
• Be prepared for the weather in the event you have to wait outside for a short period.
• Wear a short sleeved top so your arm is easily accessible.
• Turn up for your appointment at the time given to you.
• Cancel if you cannot attend so we can offer your appointment to someone else.
