World AIDS Day Campaign;
Get tested, get treated, get undetectable. It’s World AIDS day. This is a time to raise awareness about HIV, show support for people living with HIV, and take a stand against stigma. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system. It can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) related illnesses if left untreated. You can lower your risk of getting HIV by using condoms and using PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) which is a medication that protects against HIV. Although there is no cure for HIV right now, by taking a daily medicine, it can keep the virus under control. With treatment, HIV can become so low in your blood that tests cannot find it. This is called being undetectable and cannot pass the virus to your sexual partners. You can get free & confidential sexual health advice and access to testing from Sexual Health Services Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

We have noticed an increase in the volume of traffic in our practice car park which we share with Orchard Pharmacy. Please can we ask patients not to park on the grass or block other cars in. We appreciate you may have an appointment at the practice, however there may be occasions when you cannot park at the practice, We would ask in these instances you park in the main hospital car park and walk down the corridor (charges apply) and allow plenty of time for this. We respectfully ask that you do not park on the grass verges or in anything other than a dedicated parking spot.
Thank you in advance.

We will soon be introducing a fairer way to contact the practice. Your appointment will be based on your symptoms and clinical need and NOT because you were 1st in the phone queue at 8am……..Coming Mid September......
