If you’re sent a bowel cancer screening kit, put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.

This morning we had around 10 appointments made where patients did not attend.

After a Bank Holiday we are always busy, it is disapointing that people made appointments but failed to attend, especially when these could have been offered to other patients.

If you can't attend a booked appointment, please let us know so we can offer it to someone else.

20/08/2025

Bank Holiday Monday will soon be upon us.

Please ensure you order your medication today for a Friday / Saturday collection (Ditton Pharmacy is open on Saturdays).

We cannot guarantee that any prescriptions requests received after today, will be processed before the weekend.
