Winch Lane Surgery

24/12/2025

Our Elfie fun has come to an end, and tonight he must travel back to the North Pole………… we think 🤔

We would like to wish all our patients a very merry Christmas. The surgery will reopen on Monday 29th December.

If you require urgent care, use NHS 111 online or by phone (24/7), which directs you to out-of-hours GPs, urgent treatment centers, or pharmacies, or call 999 for emergencies. Pharmacies offer help for minor ailments, and some have extended bank holiday hours.
For any mental health concerns call 111 option 2.

Have a wonderful Christmas

It’s a time to celebrate, but little Elfie has been a bit greedy and over indulged 🙈 Although it’s a time for treats please don’t forget your 5 a day, and plenty of water !!!! ☺️

The number of respiratory viruses within our hospitals and community are increasing at a steady rate! It appears poor Elfie has been struck down with it too 😢
If you are visiting the surgery we kindly ask you wear a mask if you have a cough, or any cold & flu symptoms. This not only protects vulnerable patients, but also keeps the staff well, so they can continue to look after those who need us.

We really want everyone to have a holly jolly Christmas!! Thank you for your continuing support 😷.

Elfie tried to lie to the radiologist about his broken leg………………but he saw straight through him.

Now he doesn’t have a leg to stand on ☺️

Anyway, we’re really sorry Elfie broke his leg, but rest assured he’s been checked over by the Grinch Lane team and he’s going tibia fine 😉

Poor Elfie slipped on that mess the reindeer left on the floor earlier this week, and he’s not been right since!!

So today he had to make a visit to the NATIONAL ELF HOSPITAL for an x-ray. Let’s hope he’s ok 😕
