📉📊 January’s stats are in — and they’re looking fantastic!
We’ve seen a huge improvement compared to previous months, and we want to say a big thank you to everyone who’s been helping us make better use of our appointments.

If you can no longer attend your booked appointment — including Walk‑in Centre appointments — please let us know as soon as possible. These slots are valuable to all our patients, and every cancellation we’re informed about helps someone else get the care they need.

Your support genuinely makes a difference. 💙

🎗️ World Cancer Day 🎗️

Cancer may be tough, but the human spirit is tougher.
Today, we raise our voices for awareness, encourage early detection, and stand in solidarity with patients, survivors, and their families.

Every small step toward awareness brings us closer to a cancer-free future.
Let’s spread hope, strength, and compassion. 🌸

Together, we fight. Together, we care.

If you have flu, there are some things you can do to help get better more quickly.

Flu will often get better on its own, but it can make some people seriously ill. It's important to get the flu vaccine if you're eligible.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will be in touch when your child is due.
