Dear patients. As you are aware, we are expecting considerable snow this evening. The weather forecasts indicate that the snow will turn to rain overnight but of course, we don't know how much snow we will get nor what impact subsequent rainfall will have.

As travel conditions may be hazardous for patients and for practice staff we want to let you know now that on Friday morning we may have to contact you to change face-to-face appointments to telephone consultations where appropriate. Also as many of the clinical team commute to Baschurch and may possibly be affected by travel disruption, we may have to rearrange your appointment.

We will contact patients directly on Friday morning if appointments are affected. If you do not hear from us please attend as normal if it is safe for you to do so. If you wish to cancel your appointment please do so as early as possible but please bear with us as our phone lines are likely to be busy .

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these exceptional weather conditions.

We have been made aware that someone is phoning patients from a mobile phone claiming that they are working for ‘national health services’ asking for patient details etc. Please be aware that this is a scam and do not give out any personal information before checking that the caller is legitimate.

Please only order the medication you need over the Christmas period, this week we have pulled over 100 prescriptions off the shelf that haven't been collected from the last 2 months. This is a huge amount of dispensing hours wasted, where we could be providing a better, quicker service for our patients.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Dispensary Team

As we approach the Christmas and New Year period, we kindly ask patients not to order medications early unless your repeat prescription is genuinely due for collection on one of the Bank Holidays or the weekend.
Please avoid ordering increased amounts, ie more than one month at a time.
The dispensary will be open as normal throughout the festive season, closing only on
Christmas Day
Boxing Day
New Year’s Day
We are currently experiencing a very high demand, and early or unnecessary repeats place the team under unmanageable pressure and may delay medication for those who need it most. Please help us to continue to provide a safe and efficient dispensing service.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
