Important Update for Our Patients 💙

To follow local guidance and help reduce the spread of flu this winter, we're temporarily limiting the number of visitors coming into the Practice. 🛡️

We kindly ask:

💙Each patient to be accompanied by only one adult.
💙One parent per child (please try to avoid bringing siblings if possible).
💙For adult patients, one carer, translator, or chaperone may attend if needed.

Please also consider wearing a face mask when you visit 😷.

Your understanding and cooperation means a lot – it helps protect everyone in our community. Thank you so much! 🙏
Stay safe and well.

💊✨ Did you know your local pharmacy can do far more than just hand out prescriptions? Under the Pharmacy First scheme, pharmacists can now help with a range of common conditions — often without needing a GP appointment! 🙌

💬 They can offer advice, treatments and even prescribe for minor illnesses. So next time you’re under the weather, head to your local pharmacy first.

Industrial action is taking place this week, and NHS services across Surrey are already extremely busy.

Surrey’s Joint Chief Medical Officer is asking residents to use NHS services responsibly, choose the right service for their needs, and help protect care for those who need it most.

🔹 Consider Pharmacy First for minor illnesses
🔹 Use NHS 111 for advice and guidance
🔹 Only use A&E for emergencies

This time the impact of industrial action is expected to be exacerbated by the high demand for services already being experienced, with cases of flu peaking earlier and predicted to grow, amid mounting concerns over what is expected to be one of the worst flu seasons the NHS has seen.

This is the official page of The Crouch Oak Family Practice. We are aware that for some time there has been the presence of a similar site which had not been set up by this Practice. We have, therefore, made the decision to put up our own “official” page and hope that by doing so we can keep our patients informed of what is happening at your local surgery. Please note: this page is for information, not for medical advice.

We have a new website www.crouchoak.nhs.uk and our patients can contact us via that site for any health related needs.
