About Flu

We are currently seeing a high number of respiratory illnesses and are experiencing extremely high demand as a result.

If you have flu and do not have a significant underlying health condition, we kindly ask that you only contact the surgery for a consultation if you are feeling severely unwell. This helps us prioritise appointments for patients who need urgent medical care.

To help reduce the spread of infection and protect vulnerable patients and staff:
• We ask that adults and older children attending the surgery with respiratory symptoms wear a face covering.
• Our clinicians may also wear a face covering during these consultations and ventilate the room when appropriate.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

If you have flu, there are some things you can do to help get better more quickly. Flu will often get better on its own, but it can make some people seriously ill. It's important to get the flu vaccine if you're eligible.

Wednesday 10th December - due to major accident on Tavistock road - many staff and clinicians are struggling to get to work. We apologise for any delays this may cause. We realise it will affect patients as well and we will do our best to accommodate.
We hope there are no injuries and roads are clear again soon.

Thank you everyone for your patience, we are back up and running

We are currently experiencing significant internet issues, which means we cannot access many of our systems and you may have difficulty contacting us.

This problem is affecting multiple practices in the area and is being investigated as a priority.

Thank you for your patience while the team works to get everything back online. We will keep this post updated as we hear more.

We’re inviting women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64 to end the year with strong positive steps for their health, and get booked in for a cervical screening.

We know it can be scary, so we’ve added some phone appointments for people to talk to a nurse before they come in for their screening. They can tell you what to expect and you can ask questions or share any concerns before you commit to a screening. We’ve even added some extra clinics outside of our normal working hours to make it even easier to get to us.

It’s easy for cervical screening to fall to the bottom of your to-do list, but it only takes a few minutes and there are some simple ways to help put you at ease.

Book in to talk about cervical screening, you can phone us, or request a quick online booking link.

No one wants to, but it’s worth it, we promise.

For some people, symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can feel more noticeable or harder to manage during the winter.
But small things can help:

🔵 try some physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🔵 make the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🔵 plan for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks or building in more rest

There’s also treatment available if you’re finding things really tough – such as light therapy, talking therapies or medication.
