💙🤍On this World Kindness Day 2025, We would like to take a moment to consider why Kindness Matters in Healthcare!🤍💙

🤍Healthcare workers face immense stress, long hours, and emotionally demanding situations. Acts of kindness help reduce burnout and emotional exhaustion.

💙A culture of kindness leads to better communication, trust, and empathy between staff and patients, which directly improves patient outcomes.

🤍Kindness fosters collaboration and respect among colleagues, creating a supportive environment where staff can perform at their best.

💙Healthcare can sometimes feel harsh or transactional. Kindness restores humanity to the system, reminding staff and patients alike that care is about compassion as much as treatment.

🤍Patients and families are more likely to feel safe and respected when they see kindness modelled by healthcare professionals.

Thankyou for being kind ❤️

Thank you for engaging and using the new online portal Accurx.

When patients complete their own request it enables the clinical team to offer more choice, from links to book routine telephone or face to face appointments to advice/treatment via message.

We have had a few requests over the past weeks from patients asking for input from our clinical team, when appointments offered it becomes apparent the patient is out of the country 😕

Please be aware, we can not offer NHS services when you are overseas.

If you need medical assistance and are away from the practice please seek advice/treatment from a local provider.

Thank you

📢 Important Practice Update

This is having an impact on our service today.

Our patient service team been particularly affected, and as a result, we are running a limited staffing.

We kindly ask for your understanding and support during this time, calls will take longer to be dealt with, due to reduced staffing, and if you don't need to contact the Practice today please wait until next week.

🙏 Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.
