This afternoon we will be closed from 2.30pm-6.30pm for staff training. We will re-open tomorrow morning at 8am.

We're holding a full team training event, where all our teams will share insights into their roles, responsibilities and day to day contributions to patient care and the smooth running of the practice.

Due to the busy nature of the surgery, we rarely have the chance to come together like this, so this protected learning time is incredibly valuable.

Basic Life Support Training will also be given.

For anything that cannot wait whilst we are closed, please call 111.

We are aware that there has been approval of Mounjaro for NHS use for some patients living with obesity. The local NHS are working hard to establish a weight management service to support the prescribing of this for those with a BMI over 40kg/m2 and living with 4 medically recognised complications of obesity. The criteria is still being established and until this service is up and running we are not able to refer patients or assess anyone further for Mounjaro. If you would like other support with weight loss please do request an appointment clearly stating this via System Connect. We will update this statement once we hear more from the local NHS.
