This is a reminder that there will be major building works to extend / improve the clinical space at surgery. It is anticipated this will take between 6-8 weeks. This will inevitably give rise to some disruption. To continue providing safe and effective care during this time, we kindly ask patients to note the following:

🚫 No Parking or Car Park Access - The surgery car park will be closed for the duration of the works.
📞 Remote Appointments - Where clinically appropriate, you may be offered a telephone or video consultation instead of a face-to-face appointment.
📍 Alternative Appointment Location - Some of our GPs will be working from BHI Parkside, Bromsgrove, and you may be asked to attend your appointment there.
♿ Limited Accessible Facilities - There will be no access to a DDA-compliant toilet between 3rd and 24th November.

As we hope you will appreciate, the changes we are making are essential to help us secure the long-term provision of the care we provide to our patients. We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause in the coming weeks but ask for your patience and cooperation during this period of improvement. If you have any concerns or require assistance, however, please do speak to a member of the reception team.

Winter weather warnings and staying warm

Feeling the chill this winter? Keeping warm is essential for your well-being and health. Here are a few tips on warming up when it’s cold outside:

Reduce draughts where you can
Layer up – wear lots of layers of thinner clothing
Cover extremities – hats, gloves, thick socks and scarves
Eat healthily with plenty of hot drinks
Avoid alcohol
Keep moving
Keeping the cold at bay can help you to stay healthy over these wintry months.

If you’re retired and struggling with costs this winter, check if you’re eligible for the winter fuel payment. If you were born before 22nd September 1959, you could get help to pay your heating bills for the winter of 2025 to 2026.

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

Light up your life with purple on 20th November 2025 to commemorate World Pancreatic Cancer Day. Whether you or someone close to you, or you simply show support for the cause, taking part in Purple Lights for pancreatic cancer helps to raise awareness of this devastating disease. https://purplelightsuk.org/

Pancreatic cancer often causes no symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms do appear, they’re the same in men and women and often vague or intermittent. This can mean it’s sometimes missed. Understanding and knowing the symptoms to look out for can help with early diagnosis, which results in improved outcomes.

Look out for:
Unexplained upper abdominal pain
Sudden weight loss or loss of appetite
Indigestion, bloating or early fullness after small meals
Nausea or vomiting, especially after fatty foods
Fatigue or general weakness
If you’re worried, please make an appointment via our online request form.

• Persistent cough
• Coughing up blood
• Chest pain or shortness of breath
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
• Repeated chest infections

Early detection saves lives.
