👨‍🌾🌾🚜Are you a farmer or a member of the family community? 👨‍🌾🌾🚜
We are working to improve access to healthcare for people working in agriculture, including farmers, farm workers and farming families.
National research, including work highlighted by Healthwatch, shows that farming communities can face particular challenges accessing healthcare, such as long working hours, rural isolation and difficulty attending appointments.
📲To help us better understand and support our local population, some patients may receive a text message asking whether they are part of a farming household. This helps us ensure our records are accurate and that services are planned appropriately.
📞If you are part of a farming family and do not receive a text message or are unable to respond by text please contact the practice and we will update your record.
We routinely ask about employment at registration, but we know circumstances change over time.
🙏Thank you for helping us keep your information up to date.

Did you come to the doctors last week and lose a notebook?

We’ve found a notebook and would really like to reunite it with its owner. It appears to contain planning information for a wedding, so we know it’s likely very important to someone.

If you think it might be yours, please get in touch with the practice and let us know a few details so we can return it to the right person. 💍📒

🏥 Improved Patient Safety & Care
Timely communication of test results, referrals, and follow-up appointments.
Rapid contact in urgent situations, such as abnormal results or medication recalls
ensures patients receive recall and screening invitations (e.g. cervical screening, immunisations)

Reduced postage and printing costs by using digital communication.
More effective use of clinician and admin time.
