The surgery has secured funding to undertake major building works to extend / improve its clinical space starting on Monday 3 November. It is anticipated this will take between 6-8 weeks. This will inevitably give rise to some disruption. To continue providing safe and effective care during this time, we kindly ask patients to note the following:

🚫 No Parking or Car Park Access - The surgery car park will be closed for the duration of the works.
📞 Remote Appointments - Where clinically appropriate, you may be offered a telephone or video consultation instead of a face-to-face appointment.
📍 Alternative Appointment Location - Some of our GPs will be working from BHI Parkside, Bromsgrove, and you may be asked to attend your appointment there.
♿ Limited Accessible Facilities - There will be no access to a DDA-compliant toilet between 3rd and 24th November.

As we hope you will appreciate, the changes we are making are essential to help us secure the long-term provision of the care we provide to our patients. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause in the coming weeks but ask for your patience and cooperation during this period of improvement. If you have any concerns or require assistance, however, please do speak to a member of the reception team.

Measles cases are on the rise in the UK. Vaccination is vital to protect both your own children and those around you who are vulnerable. If you’ve missed a dose, or you haven’t started yet, it’s never too late to catch up. Book an appointment by [add booking details].

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases, and while anti-vaccine stories are often spread on social media, these may not be based on scientific evidence and could put your child at risk of a serious illness.

Facts:
Vaccines do not cause autism – studies have found no evidence of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism
They do not overload or weaken the immune system
Vaccines undergo rigorous safety testing before being introduced – they’re also constantly monitored for side effects

If people are not vaccinated, serious illnesses can spread. Measles can lead to life-threatening complications like meningitis, and may even be fatal. Book your child’s vaccine today.
