🌸 A Fond Farewell to Andi🌸

On Friday we said goodbye to our wonderful Healthcare Assistant, Andi, as she moves on to the next chapter of her journey.

Over the last few years, Andi has been such a valued part of our team here at The Elms Practice. Her kindness, compassion, and dedication have made a real difference to so many of our patients and colleagues alike. From her reassuring smile to the care she has shown every single day, she will be deeply missed by us all.

On behalf of the whole team and our patients, we’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to Andi for everything she has given to the surgery. We wish her every success and happiness in the future 💐💙

Please be aware there has been an electrical outage in Ormskirk, there is no access to the medical records or phone lines at this time, the team are working behind the scenes to sort this. Please be patient with our staff as this is out of our control

This week alone 18 in person appointments were not attended at our practice.

We would kindly ask that if for any reason you cannot attend your appointment; please contact the surgery to inform us and enable us to offer it to another patient.

Appointments not attended are a waste of NHS resources, and there is often another patient who is waiting for an appointment.

Thanks, The Elms Team
