If you’ve never considered joining your local Patient Participation Group, it’s a fantastic time to try. Patient participation doesn’t need to be time-consuming or difficult, but it really helps practices and the wider NHS build services that work well for patients.

Today we are celebrating our fabulous receptionists for all their hard work and dedication.

Our team are the heart of the practice – they are often the unsung heroes of the workplace — they are the first point of contact for patients, staff and visitors.

Whether it’s answering phones, managing bookings, greeting patients with a smile, or juggling multiple admin tasks, receptionists and our wider admin support team help keep the practice running smoothly.

You are all superstars!

🙌🙂

It is tinnitus awareness week

Tinnitus is a condition that causes people to hear sounds in their ears, like ringing, buzzing or other disturbances, when there is no external sound. It can vary in levels, and can impact mood, sleep and concentration. If you think you’re suffering from tinnitus, book an appointment with our healthcare team.

Living with tinnitus can be very frustrating, and draining, so it may be useful to look at some self-help tips.
