A snapshot of our statistics for the month of January, covering the 21 days we were open.

We hope that sharing data like this, month on month, will bring greater awareness to how many appointments we have to coordinate and how many medications our wonderful team dispense.

This month we only had one Friends & Family rating which was marked as good, we would really appreciate further feedback.

Update 3/2/26 - the issue has been fixed and we are now able to send samples and receive results.

There has been an IT issue with West Suffolk Pathology lab. This has meant we are unable to send samples, unless urgent and are also unable to receive results.

Please therefore check on the NHS app for your results, and if they are not on there, we likely have not received them yet.

Whilst this issue is out of our control, the hope is that it will be rectified as soon as possible, but please allow an extra couple of days to ring for results.

Many thanks

💙 It’s Thyroid Awareness Month 💙
The thyroid may be small, but it plays a huge role in our health—impacting energy, mood, weight, heart rate, and so much more. Millions live with thyroid disease, many without even knowing it.
This month is about awareness, education, and early detection.

If you have any concerns surrounding your thyroid health, please submit an Anima to the surgery.

For anyone who has any thyroid conditions, further help and support can be gathered from: https://thyroiduk.org/ & https://www.btf-thyroid.org/

The British Thyroid Foundation supports the thyroid community to live better with thyroid disease through evidence-based information, support and research

We would like to give a huge thank you and well done to two wonderful young people from Mildenhall College Academy who showed outstanding kindness and responsibility in the town this morning.

They stopped to help a lady who had fallen, stayed with her, and made sure she was safe. Not only were they polite, calm, and incredibly helpful, they even went out of their way to buy wipes and tissues.

Their compassion and maturity were truly inspiring and a real credit to themselves, their families, and their school. 🌟

Acts like this remind us how caring our community is.
Thank you.
