He is at reception waiting for his owners.

We have a high number of our admin and clinical teams off sick, which means we have a very limited capacity to see patients this week. We would ask if your issue is not urgent that you consider delaying contacting us, so that we can concentrate on the severely unwell and vulnerable. Thank you

We have a very limited number of receptionists working today due to sickness. We would ask that you contact us through the Klinik form where possible, and only call the team if your matter is urgent and needing assistance today. Thank you.

☕ Warming up from the inside

Regular hot drinks and at least one hot meal a day help maintain your body temperature and support lung function. It’s a simple way to stay comfortable on chilly days.

🎄Planning Ahead for Christmas – Repeat Prescriptions Reminder

As we head into a very busy festive period, we would like to kindly ask if patients can request their repeat prescriptions early, to ensure you have everything you need for Christmas.

🗓️ Cut-off date for requests:
Wednesday 10th December – requests made by this date should be ready for collection before Christmas.

Because we are expecting a high number of prescription requests, please help us by:
✔️ Requesting early
✔️ Collecting your medication as soon as it is ready – we have very limited storage space, and your prompt collection will help us manage this.

Thank you for your cooperation, 🎅✨

A good time to have a clear out of any equipment that may no longer be required.

Can you help get vital health and care equipment 🩼🦽back for others to use?

We’re joining up with Cornwall Council to ask residents to hand back unused care equipment this winter.

Many items, like walking frames, crutches, beds and short-term loaned wheelchairs are left unused or forgotten in people’s homes once they are no longer needed.

How to return equipment:

➡️Visit the Medequip website for information on options for returning different types of equipment.

🏢Drop it off at Medequip Roche Depot, Unit 12, Victoria Business Park, Roche, PL26 8LX (Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm).

📞Or call 01726 210477 or email cornwall@medequip-uk.com to arrange a free collection for larger items.

Our staff are struggling to get into the surgeries due to the weather, but we are open. We would ask that you only contact us today if your issue is urgent.

Take care on the roads if you do have an appointment with us today. Please call and postpone your appointment if you do not wish to travel. This will help us treat others who can get to us. Thank you
