📢 Important Notice for Our Patients

Our clinical system is currently running slower than usual, which may mean it takes our team a little longer to assist patients today. Please rest assured — the system is still fully operational, and our team is doing everything they can to continue providing care as efficiently as possible.

The system provider is aware of the issue and is actively working to restore normal performance.

🦷 Toothache? Antibiotics Aren’t Always the Answer! 🦷

If you're experiencing tooth pain, please be aware that antibiotics won't fix the problem in most cases. Dental pain is often caused by issues like infection or decay that need to be treated by a dentist, not a GP.

📞 For urgent dental care, please contact your dentist directly.

If you don’t have a dentist or need help out of hours, call NHS 111 for advice and access to emergency dental services.

🚫 GPs are not trained to treat dental conditions, and we are unable to provide the dental treatment you may need.

👉 We've attached helpful posters to explain more — please take a moment to have a look.

Let’s make sure you get the right care, at the right time, from the right place!

🚨 ONLINE ACCESS SCAM ALERT 🚨

We’ve been made aware that some patients in England are receiving WhatsApp messages claiming to be from their GP practice.

These messages:

• Say you need to contact your GP and provide a link for online appointments (appearing to be from TPP)
• Then request payment or ask for bank details to verify your identity

👉 This is a scam. Do not click the link or provide any personal/bank details.

TPP are aware of this issue. Please stay vigilant and help spread the word to keep others safe.
