Following our colleagues in other GP practices, we wanted to reassure our patients that GP practices are working harder than ever to deliver services to those in our community.

We often receive questions around why it takes so long to process a repeat prescription, to get through on the phones or to get an appointment.

Demand for GP services is higher than ever & all of our staff do their best to ensure our patients are well looked after.

Below are some figures from last week (wc 6th October). These figures don’t include the work carried out by our back office staff, such as processing requests for notes, legal reports, insurance reports, processing registrations for new patients and liaising with hospitals and other outside agencies such as nursing homes, district nursing teams etc.

We would like to thank all of our patients, for your continued support.

Ambulance diverts have been put in place whilst work continues to further investigate and resolve the issues.
We are prioritising emergency and critically ill patients at this time.
Any other patients should not come to their appointments at any hospital or community services today until further notice.
We ask that people avoid coming to our hospitals and other sites but visiting a patient is still possible.
Further updates will be provided in due course.
