Friends and Family Survey Results

97% would recommend us to their family and friends

For the 3% of patients that feel differently…. as always I would welcome the opportunity to have a chat with you, to find out how we could improve your perception of the service you received

Please feel free to give the practice a call and book an appointment to see me so I am then able to work with you to look at ways in which we may be able to improve

Thank you

The MMR vaccine is now replaced by the MMRV vaccine

It protects against

🔹measles
🔹mumps
🔹rubella
🔹chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — we will be in touch when your child is due. 🌈

🔵 🔵 Have you got the NHS app yet ?

The App is the way forward !!

Your request goes straight to the GP and then if your request is approved, the prescription is sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy within 48hours, ready for collection

We do ask that we see you once a year for a medication review

This is to ensure that your medication. Is working as it should and that you have no issues or questions.

This is usually undertaken by our pharmacist Haris … or a GP may do this if they see you at any time throughout the year

To find out more please see link below

NHS breast screening is X-rays, called mammograms, to look for cancers that are too small to see or feel.

Screening is offered to women aged 50 up to your 71st birthday. Everyone registered with a GP as female will be invited automatically every 3 years during this time.

If you’re over 71 and wish to still attend screening, have any additional needs or questions about screening please contact our team via phone or email.

I just tried this ….. really useful and very accurate for me!!!

I am sat down at my desk for the majority of the day….. so …. “ note to self “ ….

Need to move around more and drink more water instead of the gallons of tea I am used to !!!

Why not give it a go to help you focus on what you need to change ( if anything )

We all want to live longer but also live a healthier life

There may be very simple changes you can make which will help !!

Doesn’t take long to complete ….. ! 👍
