We have been made aware of an issue affecting AccuRx. Whilst patients can submit a request online, we cannot view them in surgery currently. Therefore, we would encourage all patients to contact the surgery on 01522 500240 if your request needs immediate assistance.

We have been assured that this is being investigated and NHS England are working with AccuRx to rectify this issue and we will update patients as soon as further information is received.

Thank you for your understanding.

The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm. Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.
