There were so many positive comments that it’s been genuinely difficult to choose which ones to highlight. Here’s a small snippet :

- Appointment system easy to use. and appointment came through quickly. Staff are lovely. Premises & treatment areas very clean. You are not left feeling like your appointment has been rushed through. Staff are calm , friendly & supportive.
- This surgery is the best. Very pleasant helpful staff that will go the extra mile if needed. The doctors and nurses are caring helpful and give you help and care whenever needed nothing is to much too trouble.
- I have just recently moved to Glossop and am truly impressed how efficient, caring, supportive and friendly the service is. I even got an appointment 2 days after I registered. I would recommend to visit Lambgates surgery to everyone. Well deserved 5 stars!

📊 Monthly Service Report – September 2025

September has been a particularly busy month for the practice. We have seen an increase in telephone calls, largely due to flu and COVID vaccination bookings, alongside continued growth in our patient list size. The number of triage requests has also risen; however, access to appointments remains excellent.

Looking ahead, October is expected to be another busy month with both flu and COVID clinics taking place. As a result, some routine nurse appointments may carry a slightly longer wait than usual. Patients can be reassured that additional appointments are always available through the Extended Access service should they require them.

We would like to thank all our patients for their ongoing support and understanding during this busy period 🙏❤️
