Dying Matters Awareness Week, led by Hospice UK, encourages people across the country to talk more openly about death, dying and bereavement.

Many still find these conversations difficult, which can make coping harder when loss occurs.

This year’s focus is on starting those important conversations with the people around us. Visit the surgery from 5–8 May for more information.

Jess’s Rule: 3 Strikes… We Rethink.

We’re shifting our mindset.

If something isn’t working after three tries, we don’t force it — we rethink it. We pause, reassess, and adjust.

Three strikes isn’t failure. It’s feedback.

Let’s think smarter, not harder. 💭✨

Celebrating an incredible milestone today 🎉

One of our amazing Patient Services Coordinators is marking 25 years of service with us!

Coleen joined the practice in 2001 — back when there were no computers in the admin office and appointments were handwritten in a book. Not long after she started, the surgery went digital and the training began!

In her early days, Coleen’s role involved pulling paper notes and filing hospital letters — and she remembers a time when there were far fewer patients. The practice was based in the “little surgery” building… which is now our car park!

Over the years, Coleen has seen huge changes, growth, and transformation — but one thing hasn’t changed: her dedication and love for being part of our wonderful Bersted team.

Thank you, Coleen, for 25 fantastic years 💙
