FLU VACCINE
We’re aware that some local pharmacies have run out of flu vaccines. If you’re eligible and haven’t had your flu jab yet, please pop into Market Deeping Surgery — we can administer it for you.

Flu is particularly rife at the moment, so staying protected is especially important.

Reminder of Medication Deliveries Service 2025

Christmas Medication Deliveries Services 2025

Dear Patients

We will be offering a full service in the lead up to Christmas, including Christmas Eve.

However, there will be no deliveries on Thursday 25th December or Friday 26th December.

If you are scheduled to receive a delivery on either of these dates, please ensure your order reaches us no later than Friday 12th December, so we can deliver on Thursday 18th or Friday 19th December, as appropriate.

Deliveries that would normally fall on Thursday 1st January will instead be delivered on Tuesday 30th December.

Thank you.

The Deepings Practice Dispensary Team.

Please find below the appointment figures for November 2025.
Our practice provided 13,532 appointments throughout the month — thank you to everyone who attended and helped things run smoothly!

We also had 450 missed appointments (DNAs), 66 of which were GP appointments, which is around 14.7%.

If you can’t make your appointment or no longer need it, please just give us a quick call to cancel — it really helps us offer the slot to someone else who may need it.

Thank you so much for your support!

Today marks the end of an incredible era at The Deepings Practice. After 33 years of dedicated service — including 31 years as a partner — we wish Dr. Phipps a very happy retirement.

We celebrated with a wonderful send-off, where Dr. Phipps shared heartfelt thanks to all our staff for their hard work, commitment to the NHS, and ongoing support of the practice.

As a retirement gift, at Dr. Phipps’ request, a £500 donation will be made to The Deepings Mens Group — a cause close to his heart and one that supports wellbeing within our community.

Dr. Phipps has made a lasting impact on colleagues, patients, and the wider community, and his leadership and kindness will be greatly missed.

Please join us in wishing him all the very best for the future. Thank you, Dr. Phipps, for everything. 💙🌿

🧔MOVEMBER🧔
We’re officially halfway through Movember, and the moustaches at The Deepings practice are… coming along nicely for a few staff members!
Some are bold, some are wispy, and some are bravely hanging on for dear life — but all are being grown for a great cause! 💙

Four of our team are taking part to raise awareness for men’s health, and we hope our steadily sprouting moustaches bring a smile to your face when you visit the surgery. If you spot a Mo that looks like it’s still in “early development,” please offer encouragement — or maybe don’t stare directly at it, just in case it gets shy!!

Our staff are generously raising money for this important cause.

Here’s to spreading positivity, good conversations, and slightly questionable facial hair this Movember!


What is Movember?
Movember is a worldwide campaign that takes place every November to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. During Movember, people (often men, but anyone can join in!) grow moustaches to start conversations and encourage support for:
🧔 Prostate cancer
🎗️ Testicular cancer
🧠 Men’s mental health
💙 Su***de prevention
The idea is simple: grow a Mo (moustache), get people talking, and help break down the stigma around men’s health and seeking help.
