If you care for someone, it’s not always easy to know where to go for the right support 🤝

This guide explains how local authorities and carer support services in South Tees work together, and how carers are involved too, sharing their experiences and being part of decisions about care and support.

It breaks down who does what, how everything connects, and where you can turn for help, whether that’s practical support, advice, or emotional support.

We remain closed today as it is Easter Weekend.
We reopen tomorrow at 8am.

Please remember our new appointment system allows pre-booking of appointments for up to 7 days in advance.

We will continue to have some same day slots available until we get established in the new system and these will reduce.

We continue to see Clinically Urgent Same Day cases and these are assessed by the on call GP and if suitable given an appointment that same day.

These changes are in line with the new GP Contract that has come in from 1st April that all practices have to follow.

Thank you for all the nice comments over the last week on our new system. We will continue to listen and improve as best we can within our contract and staffing.

NHS bowel cancer screening kits are offered to everyone aged between 50 and 74.

They can help find cancer early, before you even have any symptoms. And the earlier cancer is found, the easier it can be to treat.

When your kit arrives, put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.

Let someone else know they should send their kit back – especially as April is Bowel Cancer Awareness month.

More info: https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/bowel-cancer-screening/

In surgery we get notifications to say kits haven’t been returned and we will be sending out reminders. Please don’t put it off.
