We have shoveled all day to clear the majority of ice from the carpark however it may still get icy again overnight. Please attend with caution if you have an appointment tomorrow.

If it gets too icy we will close the carpark again but the surgery remains open as normal

07/01/2025

We have had to close the carpark due to extremely dangerous ice.

Surgery is still open but very limited parking available. Please be careful

06/01/2025

We have lots of staff that can't get in this morning so phone lines etc will be busier than normal!

Please be careful in the carpark if you have an appointment.

Please be patient with the staff that have managed to make it in this morning.

No appointments have been affected.

ONE MORE SLEEP!

12 weeks ago 7 of the Vic Med team signed up for the great north run to raise money for Barnsley Hospice.
We have tried tirelessly - for some it is our first ever half marathon having never ran more than a mile before!

It hasn't been easy, we've laughed we've cried and we've had more injuries between us than I dare to count. But we've had so much fun raising money for the hospice.

The big run is tomorrow! Any further donations or words of encouragement are greatly appreciated!

Routine appointments with the Advance Clinical Practitioners are now available to book ONLINE!

If you are not already signed up and would like access to online services please contact us on 01226 282758!

What is an Advance Clinical Practitioner?

Advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) are healthcare professionals, educated to Master’s level or equivalent, with the skills and knowledge to allow them to expand their scope of practice to better meet the needs of the people they care for. ACPs are deployed across all healthcare settings and work at a level of advanced clinical practice that pulls together the four ACP pillars of clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research.

What types of things can they deal with?

A whole range of things from chest infections to long term conditions! The ACP's can prescribe, refer and issue fit notes where required. The patient co-ordinators will be able to help you decide if an ACP appointment is appropriate for you.

**IF YOU ARE ALREADY SEEING A GP WITH AN ONGOING ISSUE, AN ACP APPOINTMENT IS NOT APPROPRIATE**

Don't forget - our ACP's also run our daily urgent care walk in clinic!
