Woodcock Road Surgery: Important Update

We are excited to announce that Woodcock Road will be launching a new website and online consultation system. As part of this transition, the current forms on the website will be temporarily disabled for patient submissions starting from the end of the day on 30/09/2025. The forms will be re-enabled and fully functional on 06/10/2025, once the new system is live.

Please note that the link to the website will remain the same, and there will be no change in the web address.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this upgrade. For any urgent matters during this period, please contact the practice directly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

🏡 Going Home from Hospital: What You Need to Know

Research shows that once you’ve had the care you need in hospital, going home can help you recover faster.

If extra support is needed, we’ll arrange help at home or nearby to keep you on track.

To get ready for going home, don’t hesitate to ask your healthcare team these important questions:
• What is wrong with me?
• What will happen next?
• What can I do to help myself get better?
• When am I likely to go home?

By working with your doctors and nurses, you can help speed up your recovery and feel more confident about leaving hospital.
