🎄We at Church View love being part of the Horton and Broadway community and this year have decided to raise money for 2 local charities,
Rosie Crane Trust and Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance
From Monday 22nd to Wednesday 24th, staff will be wearing their favourite Christmas jumpers ( and possibly some silly hats 🥴) and we are hoping the kind and generous visitors to the surgery will donate to the two very special charities.❤️
And who knows , if we raise enough money we may even convince Dr Trenchard to join in on his last week with us before retiring 😜

If you can spare a few pennies ( or pounds 😘) please click the link below or drop in the collection box that will be located at the dispensary

Thank you for all your support over the past year and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas 🎄

‼️ URGENT PATIENT INFORMATION: NATIONAL IT OUTAGE AFFECTING GP PRACTICES ‼️
Dear Patients,
Our practice, along with many other GP surgeries across the country, is currently experiencing significant service disruptions due to a national IT outage affecting our clinical systems.

What this means for you:
We have limited access to patient records, appointment scheduling, and electronic prescription processing.

Our online services (e.g., website forms, online booking via the NHS App) are also impacted and may be unavailable at this time.
Phone lines may be busier than usual, and you may experience delays.

How to get help:
If you have an appointment today, please attend as planned unless you are advised otherwise by the practice.
Please limit contact with the practice to urgent issues only.

For non-emergency medical advice, please contact NHS 111 online or call 111.
In an emergency or life-threatening situation (e.g., serious illness or injury), please call 999 or attend A&E as usual. These services are not affected.

From today, patients attending the surgery are asked to wear a mask if they have respiratory or flu-like symptoms. This helps to stop the spread of germs and protects vulnerable patients and staff.

Flu and seasonal illnesses are rising earlier than expected, with cases already much higher than last year.

😷masks are located in the practice entrance , please wear them before you enter the reception area.
🤧please reschedule routine appointments if you are currently suffering from a cough/cold/flu.
🤒please use the hand gel provided.

Thank you for helping us protect patients and loved ones this festive season. 🎄

With Christmas fast approaching, December is the busiest time of year for our dispensary.
Our team of dispensers are working hard to fulfill all prescriptions and queries on time.
We still aim to complete prescriptions within 72 working hours but with unreliable wholesale deliveries this may at times not be achievable, therefore we are asking for your understanding and patience . Where we will accept slightly early requests, we will not be able to process more than 1 months supply , in accordance with our policy, unless exceptional circumstances.

🎄Closed - Christmas Day
🎄Closed - Boxing Day
🎄Closed - New Years Day

🎅 Speak with the Dispensary Team or Manager if you have any queries or concerns

❄️ Check what medication you have at home and only order what is needed

⛄️ Please be kind and supportive to the Dispensary and Community pharmacy staff

Merry Christmas
from Donna , Matt , Sandy & Sarah 🎄
