Today we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice made by members of our Armed Forces.

Their commitment to protecting and serving our communities will forever be remembered with gratitude, and their legacy of courage continues to inspire us all.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them 💙

Missed getting your flu jab?

If your eligible, then just pop to the surgery Mon to Fri 10am to 12pm or 2pm to 4pm and ask reception. One of the nurses can then see you.

Already have an appointment but not had the jab. Just ask the doctor or nurse if they can do it right then for you.

We want as many of our patients and carers to be as safe as possible this Winter.

Don’t leave it too late as our stock of vaccine is limited.

Also if you declined before but changed your mind, please just ask us.

So far this week (Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th October) - 25 Patients have failed to make their appointments or cancel them. It is so hard to understand as these are appointments that patients have requested. That is 25 other people that could have been helped.

We totally understand things can happen, but all we ask is that you cancel - so we can offer that appointment to another patient.

Please help us to try and help as many patients as we can.
