Thank You from Meltham Group Practice 🥰

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and supported our Coffee Morning on Friday 26th September in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Thanks to your generosity and kindness, we raised an amazing £185!

This incredible amount could help provide emotional support to one person living with cancer for up to 12 weeks, through regular sessions with one of Macmillan’s trained Buddies — offering a vital lifeline either online or over the phone.
Your support truly makes a difference.

Thank you again for coming together as a community to help make life that little bit easier for those facing cancer.

SPOTTED: New Nurse in Meltham! A warm welcome to Stacey, our new practice nurse! Stacey will be working alongside our existing nursing team and covers all practice nurse duties including cervical smears.

In September, those who have a negative test result will be notified of this by an NHS App message. It will also appear as an NHS App notification. If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent as a failsafe.

Abnormal result letters will continue for the time being to be delivered by post.

This change follows the successful rollout of digital invitations and reminders in June 2025, where since the launch, 9 out of every 10 invitations are being sent digitally, with the remainder being sent by post.

For help with getting set up with the NHS App, please speak to a member of our admin team.
