Good morning! I hope you had a good weekend, and that those of you with children or grandchildren are enjoying the prospect of two weeks in which you have to entertain them...

We had a lovely time at the Sefton Medical Committee's annual dinner. It was gratifying to hear that we have a very good reputation amongst local healthcare professionals because of the way that we work. Historically, private GP care has had a bad reputation amongst doctors because of the sector's tendency to promote non-evidence-based treatments (like giving Kenalog injections for hayfever, even though there's an international consensus statement by allergy experts saying that you shouldn't). We are proud to be breaking that mould and offering good, ethical, evidence-based medicine.

It's looking like a busy week at Formby GP - Dr John was going to be fully booked today, so we've added some extra appointment slots at the end of his clinic. At the time of writing, these are still available. I currently only have one appointment left tomorrow - I can extend my clinic a bit if needed, but not indefinitely, because tomorrow afternoon Dr Louise the menopause expert is using our clinic room (and she, too, is fully booked - you're seeing the theme here...). As ever, if you need to see a GP but can't find a suitable appointment slot online, drop us an email (clinical@formbygp.net) and we'll do our best to fit you in.

I (Heather) am fully booked for Thursday already! However, John still has some availability left tomorrow and on Friday. If you're keen to see a lady doctor and you can't wait until next Tuesday, email us on clinical@formbygp.net and we will do our best to sort something out.

We had a glorious weekend with John's family celebrating family birthdays. We were very fortunate with the weather! I even dared to wear a summery outfit (obtained from my favourite charity shop, North West Cancer Research Charity Shop- Formby on Chapel Lane).

Worried about your health? Consult one of our experienced GPs for a bespoke assessment. They'll arrange whatever tests you need.

By doing only the tests you need, you will probably pay less than you would for a generic "health screen" ... and you get the benefit of our expertise to boot.

Normally we're happy to take urgent visit requests outside of normal working hours, but we are going to be away this weekend - we are meeting John's family to celebrate the birthdays of his mum and sister. As such, if you have a medical problem that can't wait until we are back in Formby on Sunday evening, you should call 111 or attend a local NHS walk-in centre - or call 999 if it's an emergency.

We still have good appointment availability most days next week except Tuesday - if you need to see a GP, you can book on our website (www.formbygp.com/book), by phone (01704 617050), or by email (clinical@formbygp.net).

We are delightfully busy at the moment! I have opened up one more appointment slot tomorrow, as I would otherwise be fully booked. We do have good availability for Wednesday and Thursday still. You can book online at www.formbygp.com/book, or by calling 01704 617050, or by emailing clinical@formbygp.net.

I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day. Junior Choir Sefton joined forces with the St Peter's Church choir, which meant that John got to sing with both of the children for the first time!
