As of the 1^st May 2022, surgery protocol will change in regards to patient/third party collection of confidential information such as; prescriptions, sick notes, letters etc.  For such paperwork, you will need to provide written or verbal consent stating who will be collecting on your behalf and they will be asked to show their I.D. If collecting in person, you will also be required to show ID.

This is to allow us to continually maintain our patient data confidentiality.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Just think 111 online first;

Last November, NHS England and NHS Improvement launched the next phase of the latest ‘Help Us, Help You’ campaign which focuses on NHS 111 online.

If you have an urgent but not life threatening medical need, make sure you visit NHS 111 online first rather than going straight to A&E. NHS 111 online will help you right away and, if needed, a healthcare professional will call you.

NHS 111 online can direct you to an urgent treatment centre/walk in centre, emergency dental services, GP, pharmacy or another more appropriate local service.

If you or your loved one have a life-threatening illness or injury then you should always dial 999.

Appointments Update

Following recent feedback and suggestions we have made some adjustments to some areas of the Patient Access appointments system;

We have changed the release times of some GP telephone calls.

As well as releasing at 07.30 there will also be slots released from 09.00 and 13.00.

Many thanks,

Organ Donation Update

 Organ donation in England has changed to an opt out system. It's still for you to decide whether or not you want to become an organ donor. We will always ask your family to support your decision. So whatever you choose, it's really important that you let them know, There is more information available via the link below:
