Due to illness, we have been short of clinicians this week. We have very limited appointment availability for the rest of the week.
Please can we ask that you only contact us if your issue is urgent. Thank you.

When you’re feeling low in mood or energy, it’s all too easy to reach for a quick pick-me-up in the form of a sports drink, bag of crisps, or chocolate bar when you’re working. Those won’t necessarily be the healthiest choices.

If you’re fortunate enough to have a café or canteen on-site, or in-office snacks, try to go for the healthy option where you can.

If options such as fresh fruit aren’t available, ask your HR team or office manager to rethink what’s provided.

It can be even tougher to opt for the healthy choice when you work at home, or are on the road a lot. Could you plan ahead to help you make better choices with a packed lunch?

If the thought of speaking to your manager makes you feel uneasy, why not speak to a WorkWell coach first?

They can offer tips and advice on tricky conversations to help you stay in or return to work.

🎅 A gentle Christmas reminder from your GP Practice 🎅

Our staff are here to help and always aim to treat everyone with kindness and respect.
Please remember that abusive or aggressive behaviour towards our team will not be tolerated.

🎄 Even Santa has a list…
And those who are abusive to staff they may find themselves on the naughty list.

Thank you to the many patients who continue to be patient, understanding, and kind — especially during our busiest time of year. ❤️

Wishing you a safe and healthy festive season from all of us at the practice.

We have a high number of our admin and clinical teams off sick, which means we have a very limited capacity to see patients today or tomorrow. We are currently only able to deal with those requests that require urgent care. Any routine, non-urgent requests will be asked to contact us at a later date.

Our online request for appointments or medical help are temporarily suspended during this time. If your issue is urgent we would ask that you contact us by phone.

Winter bugs and illnesses can leave little ones feeling under the weather.

Most of the time, childhood illnesses can be dealt with in the comfort of your own home.

There's a page on our website packed with advice and information on how to help if your child is unwell, from coughs and colds to injury and even advice on when you should keep them home from school...

Head over and have a read...
