Flu Vaccine Shipping Delay

Due to supplier and shipping delays, we will not have access to this year's flu vaccine until the 13th April 2015. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will provide another update once received.

Happy Birthday!

Exactly one year ago, CBMC opened our doors for the first time. We were excited but nervous as we started from scratch.

Over the last year, we shared many laughs with our patients, met some great locals and also had some difficult conversations.

Thank you to our patients, family and friends for your support over the last year and we look forward to providing you with the level of care you have come to expect from CBMC.

Now accepting AMEX payments

We value your feedback and that is why we now accept American Express credit cards for your convenience. 

The best bit? No surcharge!
