Norovirus is a stomach bug that causes diarrhoea and vomiting. It can be very unpleasant, but usually goes away in about 2 days.

You can usually treat yourself at home, but the most important thing is to rest and have lots of fluids.

Dear Patients

We would like to remind you that we operate a zero tolerance policy at this practice, the practice supports the government’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ campaign for Health Service Staff.

This states that GP’s and their staff have a right to care for others without fear of being attacked or abused, however in recent weeks the abuse given to staff has increased somewhat and this will NOT be tolerated.

Please remember it’s NOT ok to:

❌ Raise your voice
❌ Verbally or Physically threaten
❌ Swear and Intimidate staff
❌ Racially abuse or sexually Harrass

Any form of aggressive behaviour whether it be violent or abusive, will not be tolerated and may result in you being removed from the practice list and in extreme cases, the police being contacted.

During December 2025, 202 patients did not attend their appointment.

We have once again seen a slight reduction this month on last, this is very much appreciated however the numbers still remain a lot higher than we would like.

We would like to emphasise the importance of cancelling your appointment as should this no longer be needed, it allows it to be offered to other patients.

We are monitoring all DNA’s and should we identify any frequent offenders the practice will contact the patients directly.

The thyroid gland is a small butterfly shaped gland that makes and releases hormones. It’s found at the front, lower part of your neck, just behind the small hollow where your collar bones meet.

If you’ve noticed any of these changes, or anything else unusual for you, talk to your doctor. In most cases, it won’t be cancer – but if it is, diagnosing it early can make a real difference.
