Is it with sincere apologies that we have to inform you that we have a limited service today.

Many of our staff have struggled to come into work.

Those staff that are at work are working hard to ensure the service is run as near to normal as possible.

If you are unable to attend your appointment today, may we politely ask that you let us know, so that your appointment can be offered to another patient.

Thank you for your continued support.

Please make every effort to attend your appointment.

If you let us know when you are unable to attend, we can often offer your appointment to another patient.

Thank you.

The NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT) is a feedback tool asking patients, carers, and families how likely they'd recommend an NHS service, using a simple "how likely are you to recommend us?"
question to gauge overall experience and drive improvements, identifying strengths and weaknesses across most NHS services like hospitals, GPs, and mental health care.

It's a quick, often anonymous, way to give feedback, with results published to stimulate changes and support patient choice, making it a significant source of patient opinion globally.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.
Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.
