‼️PATIENT NOTICE ‼️

Due to unexpected staff shortages within our nursing team, we may need to contact some patients to rearrange or cancel appointments over the next few weeks.

This will also impact overall nursing capacity, meaning there may be longer waits for routine blood tests, annual reviews and vaccinations.

We are doing our best to accommodate more urgent appointments where possible, but this will only be done where it is operationally safe to do so.

We do not cancel appointments lightly, so if our team does need to contact you, we kindly ask that they are treated with patience and respect.

As always, thank you for your understanding and continued support during this time.

📢 CHANGES TO OUR PRESCRIPTIONS PHONE LINE 📢

From Tuesday 26th of May, the prescriptions phone line and voicemail service (option 2 from the main practice number) will only be available between the hours of 10am and 2pm.

Outside of these hours, patients can still:
• Submit a request via Rapid Health
• Order through their usual online methods
• Speak to reception who can advise on the most appropriate route for your query

Please remember that routine medication requests should be ordered in good time wherever possible.

These changes are being made due to increasing demand and to help our prescriptions team manage medication queries more safely and effectively.

We will continue to support urgent medication issues where appropriate.
