Today was practice managers day.

Behind every smooth-running practice is a dedicated Practice Manager working tirelessly to keep everything on track. From coordinating staff and managing appointment systems, to ensuring high standards of patient care and handling the day-to-day operations, their role is essential in making sure our patients receive the best possible experience.

Practice Managers are the backbone of the practice — balancing organisation, leadership, and compassion to support both patients and the clinical team.

We would like to take say a massive thank you to our practice manager Jane for her hard work and support over the years. Her unfaltering dedication is what makes the surgery work as efficiently as it does, ensuring the safety of both patients and staff.

Today is a sad day for us. We say goodbye and good luck to Dr Desai who’s been with us for almost 12 years as he moves to a new place work closer to his home and family.
He joined us while we were working in the small bungalow and worked with us as our patient numbers increased and helped with the move into our new building.
He’s supported us as a work family following the loss of Dr Mr Chawla, the retirement of Dr Mrs Chawla and through some other very difficult times.
We’ll miss his calm, no nonsense approach to work, his personality and humour.
Please join us in saying a thank-you to him and we wish him good luck. Our loss is another practices gain!!!

We have had to make the unprecedented decision to turn off our econsults this afternoon. Despite having over 40 bookable appointments with clinicians we have found ourself in a position where no further appointments are available today.
Of course if you have an urgent medical need we will take your call today and the oncall GP will triage this.
If things change we’ll let you know.
Please accept our apologies but your safety and that of our staff is paramount to us.
Many thanks.
