Please call from the car when you arrive at the practice to let us know that you have arrived and you will be directed from there. Please make sure that you have a face covering with you and that this is in place before entering the building.

All medication and food must be pre-ordered and paid for before arriving at the surgery. Once you have arrived for collection please ring from your car/pavement and we will put the order on the doorstep.

Want to do your bit to help the environment? Check out this poster showing what extra things can be recycled by Terracycle via Rusthall St Pauls FORS Recycling

Run by the Friends of Rusthall St Paul’s Primary School, they have set this group up to share their recycling programmes to a wider community and allow you to share far and wide.

They are collecting empty crisp packets, some beauty items and pringle tubes to start with but are hoping to increase this to include even more items.

They want to save unnecessary waste going to landfill but also help to raise some money for our local village school.

Every little helps.
