May Bank Holiday Surgery Opening Times 🌳🕰️

Please remember to order any required medication in good time, we are closed Monday 4th May.

13/04/2026

We are using eConsult as a tool for you to tell us what you need to see a GP about, so that we can make sure you get the right care from the right person at the right time, every time. This change means that urgent issues can be seen promptly, and things that can wait can be seen by the right person to help you first time (rather than passing you from clinician to clinician). If you need any support completing one, our staff are here to help!

You can access our direct link to eConsult via our Practice Website (www.springwoodsurgery.nhs.uk) - they really are simple to complete and let you provide us with the necessary information to get you the right care at the right time, every time.

*While they are simple (and even fun?) to fill in, please don't send us more than one a day - we really don't have the resources to handle multiple consultations with the same patient each day so please focus on the most important question/issue.

We're so proud of everything you've done in Sam's name and memory, this award is well deserved!

Volunteers from across Redcar and Cleveland have been recognised for their dedication, compassion and commitment to supporting their communities at the Mayor’s annual Community Achievement Awards.

Meet the Morgan Family

Sam Morgan was a young vibrant man who served his country in the armed forces but sadly took his life due to PTSD. Instead of his family lying in their grief they have fought and campaigned for a better life for veterans and soldiers, through supporting healthier heroes’ charity “Morgan House” at Boosbeck, dedicated to supporting veterans on their journey of recovery and reintegration into society.

🌎World Delirium Awareness Day🧠

Today we recognise World Delirium Awareness Day – an important opportunity to raise awareness of delirium and why it matters so much for people living with dementia and those who care for them.

Delirium is a sudden change in a person’s mental state, which can cause confusion, agitation, or difficulty focusing. Unlike dementia, which usually develops gradually, delirium can appear quickly – sometimes within hours or days 🕑

People living with dementia are significantly more likely to develop delirium, particularly during illness, hospital stays, infections or medication changes. 💊

For families and carers, delirium can be frightening and confusing. However, the good news is that delirium is often preventable and treatable if recognised early. Learning to spot the signs and understanding the risk factors can help ensure people get the right care quickly and may reduce longer-term impacts on health and wellbeing.

That’s why raising awareness is so important.

If you support or care for someone living with dementia, we encourage you to learn more about what delirium is, how to recognise it, and what you can do to help prevent it.
