📢 Healthcheck Machine Update 📢

We’re pleased to let our patients know that the healthcheck machine in our waiting room is now working again ✅

The machine allows you to quickly and easily measure:
• Height
• Weight
• BMI
• Blood pressure

At the end of the check, you can now scan a QR code on the screen to receive a digital copy of your results, along with useful NHS links to support a healthy lifestyle 🧡

Feel free to use it while you’re waiting for your appointment, or just call in.

🤒 Feeling unwell? Please wear a mask 😷

If you have symptoms of flu, COVID-19, or any respiratory illness, we kindly ask that you wear a face mask when visiting the practice.

📣 Update on Weight-Loss Injection Eligibility in Gloucestershire

We have now received the definitive guidance on who can be treated in General Practice with weight-loss injections. The eligibility rules set by Gloucestershire are very strict.
To qualify, patients must have:
✔️ A BMI over 40
AND
✔️ At least 4 out of 5 specific qualifying health conditions

Over the past few months, we’ve had many queries about this. After carefully reviewing our patient list, we have identified three patients who meet the criteria. We will contact these patients directly.

🙏 Please do not contact the surgery about eligibility, as we are unable to offer these medications outside the strict rules provided.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

📝 Simply ask for a confidential slip at the reception window. You can write down the reason for your appointment and hand it back—quick, discreet, and private.

🌿 A Kind Reminder from Our Team 🌿

We wanted to let our patients know that we are currently short-staffed in our reception team. Our team members are working hard to answer calls, book appointments, and assist everyone as quickly as possible — but there may be some delays in getting through to us or receiving a response.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding during this time. A little kindness goes a long way 💚 — our team truly appreciates your support.

Thank you for bearing with us 🙏
