📢 Hearing Aid Batteries Update 🎧

Good news! The NHS has reinstated the hearing aid battery replacement scheme. We’re now able to provide replacement batteries to all Northamptonshire patients, regardless of which practice you’re registered with.

🔋 Batteries can be collected directly from the surgery reception – no appointment needed!

🚨 Missed Appointments in July 🚨

In July, we had 280 missed appointments, resulting in 77 hours of lost time - valuable time that could have been used to care for other patients.

With the arrival of summer and school holidays, we know many are enjoying time off - but we’ve also noticed a huge increase in missed appointments.

🙌 Thank you to everyone who let us know they couldn’t attend - it really does make a big difference.

Need to cancel? It’s quick and easy:
✅ Call our reception team 📞
✅ Use your online account 💻
✅ Text CANCEL to the number in your confirmation message (at least 2 hours before) 📲
