❗GP surgery website issues – important update for patients❗

IT issues are currently affecting the system that runs many GP surgery websites nationally, including most of those across Gloucestershire.
Technical teams are working hard to fix the issues as quickly as possible. Whilst they do this, to ensure the safety of clinical systems, they have temporarily closed most practice websites.

If you need to contact your GP surgery urgently, please either phone or visit your surgery.

🏥🩺

If you have borrowed a blood pressure monitor, we kindly ask that you return it to the practice at your earliest convenience.

We are experiencing a shortage of these devices, which is leading to delays for our patients.

Thank you for your cooperation.
