The surgery is now accepting requests for appointments by telephone, online or via eConsult:

About eConsult:
eConsult allows you to quickly and safely get help and advice from your own GP practice online, from anywhere.

It is a form-based online consultation and triage platform that collects your medical or administrative request and sends it directly to the practice, where it is reviewed and directed to the most appropriate care.

Any eConsult received during core hours (8:00am – 6:30pm) will be acted on the same day. Requests received outside of these hours will be responded to on the next working day.

FAST awareness helps everyone recognise the signs of stroke and act quickly.

Stroke is a medical emergency, and getting help fast can save lives and reduce long-term disability. Knowing your risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history and lifestyle factors, can also help with prevention.

If you notice any signs of stroke, call 999 immediately. ⏱️🧠🚑✨

Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness of risk factors, symptoms and the importance of looking after your long-term health.

A family history of cancer, smoking, va**ng, poor diet and long-term acid reflux can all increase risk. Making positive lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking or va**ng, can help reduce the risk of many cancers and improve overall health.

Knowing the signs and understanding risk factors can support earlier diagnosis and better outcomes. 🎗️🩺💙✨
