We would just like to say a big thank you to all of our patients for being so understanding yesterday whilst whilst we were experiencing an exceptionally high demand on our services.

We know our phones were much busier than usual and waiting times were longer, and we truly appreciate your patience and kindness during what was a very challenging day for our team.

Your support means a great deal to us, and it helps us continue to provide the best care possible, even in difficult circumstances.

URGENT NOTICE: APPOINTMENT CAPACITY

We are currently experiencing an extremely high volume of triage requests alongside clinician sickness, which is significantly impacting our appointment availability.

Please only contact us if your issue is urgent or cannot safely wait.

For non-urgent concerns, we kindly ask that you:

• Use online self-care resources where appropriate
• Visit your local pharmacy for advice on minor illnesses
• Consider NHS 111 for guidance

Our team is working as quickly as possible to ensure patients with the most urgent needs are prioritised. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this challenging time.

Thank you for your support.

Dear Patients,

Our phone lines can be very busy. If you are able to, please use our Accurx online triage form, which is open 24/7 so you can contact us at a time that suits you.

Using the online form where possible helps keep our phone lines free for our patients who may need extra support, and anyone who requires urgent help or cannot access the internet.

You can use the form for medical requests, and the admin request option for nursing appointments or routine queries such as medical certificates or copies of your records.

Access the forms here:
https://accurx.nhs.uk/patient-initiated/e82123

If you cannot use the online form, please call the surgery and our reception team will be happy to help.

Thank you for helping us keep our service accessible for everyone.

Contact us about your request
