We are going green

As of 13th November 2025, we are transitioning to online prescriptions as part of our commitment to a greener, more efficient service.

All patients are now encouraged to order their repeat prescriptions online via our website using the Prescription Link or by using the NHS app. This change is part of our goal to reduce paper usage, streamline your medication orders, and improve efficiency for everyone.

How it works:

Simply click the Prescription Link on our website.

Log in or register to place your repeat prescription order.

Your order will be processed faster than ever, helping you get your medications without unnecessary delays.

Important information:
We aim to have this system fully implemented within 3 months, making online prescriptions the faster, greener, and more convenient way to manage your medications.

Acute Medications: We no longer accept acute prescriptions requests, by paper or by the app.

If you need an acute medication, please complete an Anima request which can be found on our website. This ensures your request is handled safely and efficiently

Thank you for helping us make our GP services more sustainable and efficient.

This month we are celebrating Men's Health Month👨

Let's take this moment to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of prostate and testicular cancer.

Remember, incorporating a regular routine of checking for changes, doesn't mean you're searching for cancer, but instead means you're putting your health first and getting to know your body better.

CHECK YOUR CHEST
Do you know what is normal for your body?

Don't forget to check your chest at least once a month. By regularly checking for signs of breast cancer, you will identify any unusual changes quicker.

If you notice anything strange, such as:
- discharge from your ni**le
- lumps in your armpit and chest
- rashes
or changes in appearance, make sure you speak to your GP.

The sooner breast cancer is found, the more likely treatment will be successful.
