We have issues with our IT this morning.
We are unable to log onto our computers.

This is a system issue across the IT provider so most practices are affected.

We cannot operate as normal until this is fixed.

Please only call the surgery if it is urgent and we will do our best. Please bear with us at this time.

⚠️ Important Notice: Scam Alert for Bereaved Families ⚠️

We have been made aware of a concerning scam targeting individuals who have recently lost a loved one.

A bereaved family member reported receiving a phone call from someone claiming to be a Medical Examiner’s office. During the call, the individual stated they would send paperwork to allow the registration of a death. The conversation then turned to matters such as pensions, and the caller requested bank details.

❗ This is a scam. Medical Examiner offices will NEVER ask for bank details over the phone.

If you or someone you know receives a similar call:
• Do not provide any personal or financial information
• End the call immediately
• Contact your bank if any details have already been shared
• Report the incident to the appropriate authorities

We understand this is a particularly distressing time for families, and it is unacceptable that scammers are targeting vulnerable individuals.

Please share this message to help protect others in our community.

If you have any concerns, feel free to contact the surgery for advice.

Our telephone lines are down - please bear with us. If your call is not important please try again tomorrow. Thank you.

Your Numbers the Pressure off.
A blood pressure test checks if your blood pressure is healthy, or if it's high or low.
All adults over 40 years old are advised to have their blood pressure checked at least every 5 years.
Getting your blood pressure checked is easy, quick and could save your life.
You can get your blood pressure tested at a number of places, including:
• at some pharmacies
• as part of your NHS Health Check
• in some workplaces
• at your GP surgery
You can also check your blood pressure yourself with a home blood pressure monitor and these are available for free in libraries across Somerset. Find out more. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/blood-pressure-test/
Some smart watches/fitbits also measure Blood Pressure. Make sure you send in your blood pressure to us so we can add it to your record.

Find out why a blood pressure test is important, how it’s done and what your blood pressure reading might mean.
