💙 It’s Carers Rights Day! 💙

Are you looking after a family member, friend or neighbour who couldn’t manage without your help? You’re a carer — and we want to support you. 🌸

Please let our GP practice know if you’re an unpaid carer. We can help you access the right advice, services and support for your own health and wellbeing.

Pop in, call, or mention it at your next appointment — we’re here for you. 💬

Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) run a lovely second-hand book and jigsaw stall in the Dorchester branch waiting area.

While you’re waiting for your appointment, feel free to have a browse — and for a small donation, you can take a book or puzzle home to enjoy! 💙

We’re also gratefully accepting donations of good-quality books and jigsaws to keep the stall stocked. Every little bit helps support practice activities and community projects.

Thank you for your support! 🙏

If you’ve served in the Armed Forces, make sure your GP practice knows!

By recording your veteran status, we can make sure you get the right support — from health services that understand the unique needs of those who’ve served, to faster access to specialist care where available.

Just tell our reception team you’re a veteran, and we’ll update your record.
Thank you for your service. 💙
