Thank you to all our patients who took the time to share feedback on the service we provided during October.

A few patients rated us as Neither Good nor Poor or Poor due to our phone lines being closed during the Saturday flu clinics. We’re sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment this caused. During these busy sessions, it’s challenging for us to manage both the high number of patients attending and the phone lines at the same time.

We carefully review all feedback and share every comment with the practice team. Your input helps us learn and continue improving the care and service we provide.

From October to March we can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight, so to keep bones and muscles healthy, it’s best to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D. You can get vitamin D from most pharmacies and retailers.
