We encourage all patients to download the NHS App and make sure push notifications are turned on. This helps your healthcare team contact you quickly with important updates about your care, such as appointment reminders, test results, messages from your GP practice, and other relevant information.

Keeping notifications enabled ensures you don’t miss time-sensitive information and allows us to communicate with you more efficiently. The app is secure, convenient, and designed to give you better access to NHS services.

If you haven’t already, please download the NHS App and check that notifications are switched on in your phone settings.

MMRV replaces the existing MMR vaccine and adds protection against chickenpox, alongside measles, mumps and rubella.

We are supporting Jess’s Rule, a patient safety initiative that promotes listening to patients, families and carers when there are concerns about a person’s condition.

Jess’s Rule is designed to encourage open communication and shared understanding between patients and healthcare professionals, helping to ensure concerns are acknowledged and taken seriously.

You may see information about Jess’s Rule displayed in our practice — please take a moment to read the poster, which explains the purpose of the rule and how it supports patient safety.
