Assaults on NHS staff are a significant and rising problem, with over 14% experiencing physical violence from patients, relatives, or the public in 2024, alongside high levels of harassment and unwanted sexual behaviour.

The NHS Zero Tolerance policy means the health service has a strict, non-negotiable stance against violence, abuse, and aggression towards its staff, protecting doctors, nurses, and all personnel from harm by patients or their families, involving police action and potentially removing abusive patients from practices, while also expanding to a broader approach to staff performance and support. This policy covers physical attacks, verbal abuse, threats, hate speech, and intimidation, aiming for swift prosecution of offenders and better support for staff victims, with resources for de-escalation and training.

Only order what you need:

- Check what medicines you have at home before you order your repeat prescriptions. If you have enough, only request the medicines you need this time. You will still be able to order others again in future.
- Speak to your pharmacy team if you have any questions about how to change your prescription request.


Open your prescription bag:

- Check your prescription bag before leaving the pharmacy to make sure that you only have what you need and that there’s nothing extra in there. If you return an item before you leave the pharmacy, the medicines can be reused.

🔨 Notice to Patients – Upcoming Building Works 🏥

We would like to inform our patients that building works will be taking place over the coming weeks.

We are having additional solar panels fitted on the roof.

Scaffolding will be erected during the weekend of Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March. This will be around the front and sides of the building. These works will last approximately 8 weeks.

During this time, you may experience some temporary disruption outside the building. This may include occasional noise 🔊, the presence of contractors 👷, and possible minor changes to access routes 🚧.

Please be assured that there will be no disruption to clinical services ✅. All appointments and patient care will continue to run as normal.

Our team will be available to guide and support you while these improvements are underway 🤝. If you need any assistance during your visit, please speak to a member of staff who will be happy to help.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
