๐Ÿ“ข Patient Update

Weโ€™re currently experiencing very high demand at the practice, receiving 150โ€“300 triage forms every single day. As a result, you may notice longer waiting times for โ€œgreenโ€ or routine appointments over the coming weeks. This is because our team must prioritise the most urgent and acute medical needs first. ๐Ÿš‘๐Ÿ’™

Unfortunately, our capacity will be reduced further in January due to clinician resignations. We want to reassure you that weโ€™re working hard behind the scenes to rebuild our team. New nurses will be joining us in 2026, and we hope to welcome new GPs from February. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธโœจ

We know this may be frustrating, and we truly understand. Our staff are doing everything they can under very challenging circumstances. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’™

Thank you for your patience, kindness, and continued support โ€” it really does make a difference. โค๏ธ
