Ashfield Vets Ltd

NOW FIXED

Unfortunately we currently have no internet or phone connection, we have been advised there is a national outage and our IT team are doing everything they can to get us back up and running. As soon as we are back we will post an update.
Please avoid calling us for the time being, if you have a true emergency please come into the surgery. Apologies for the inconvenience.

There are multiple road closures around free school lane this week affecting access to the Halifax surgery.
There is resurfacing happening on Free School Lane and Heath Road. You can only gain access to the practice coming down from Savile Park. The road is closed however the work men are allowing access for clients and staff to the practice.
Hopefully disruption is kept to a minimum 🤞
