⚠️ Important Medication Update: Co‑Codamol 30/500 Shortage

We have been informed by NHS Services that Co‑Codamol 30/500 is currently in national shortage, and this is expected to continue until June 2026.

At this time, we are unable to provide any further information or alternative solutions, as this situation is completely outside of our control. We kindly ask that patients do not contact the practice regarding this issue for now.

We are sharing this update in advance as there may be media coverage, and we want to ensure our patients are fully aware.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and cooperation during this time. We will provide updates as soon as we receive further guidance.

We’re really sorry for any inconvenience today. Unfortunately, two of our doctors have been unwell and had to call in sick, which means we have fewer appointments available than usual.
We know this can be disappointing, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding while our team does their best to help everyone and prioritise urgent needs.
If your appointment is affected, we’ll be in touch as soon as we can to discuss next steps or alternatives.
Thank you.
