📢 Big news — From Monday 13th April we're changing how you contact the surgery! From that date, we're introducing eConsult — a simple online form that lets you tell us what's going on before we get in touch with you. This means you'll speak to the right person, first time, without spending time on hold.
Here's what's changing:
✅ Submit requests online — Monday to Friday, 7:30am–6:30pm
✅ Access via our website or the NHS App
✅ No more waiting in a phone queue just to get an appointment
✅ We'll review your request and get back to you the same day
✅ Still prefer to call? Our phone lines will remain open.
We know change can feel daunting, but this system is designed to make things quicker, simpler, and fairer for everyone at Bankfield. We've also got support available for patients who need help using it.
👉 From 13th April, visit bankfieldsurgery.org.uk or open the NHS App to submit your request. Got questions before then? Watch out for dates of the support sessions we’ll be holding prior to our go live date and we'll be happy to help. 💙

💙 A quick note from the Bankfield Surgery team 💙

We know it can be worrying when you’re waiting to hear back from us, and we want to reassure you that your health is always our priority.

At the moment, we’re experiencing a very high number of requests, with many patients contacting us through different channels. If you’ve already been in touch, please don’t worry — we have your request and we will respond as soon as we can.

To help us get back to everyone more promptly, we kindly ask that you avoid contacting us multiple times about the same issue where possible.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support 💙

💬 Childhood vaccinations can feel like a loaded topic.
And it’s completely normal to have questions.

Dr Sophie Newton has created a short, pressure-free video explaining:
• what childhood vaccines are designed to do
• the real risks and benefits
• how vaccine safety is monitored
• and why she recommends them in clinic

This isn’t about judgement or telling anyone what to think — it’s about clear, honest information to help you make informed choices for your family.

🎥 Watch the video below, take your time, and if you have questions afterwards, we’re always happy to talk.
