We’re currently experiencing significant staff shortages today, with three of our clinicians off sick. As a result, we have reached full capacity. We kindly ask that you consider contacting us on another day or use alternative services such as NHS 111 and Pharmacy First.

We are closed today (Tuesday 17th March) from 1pm due to PTL.

We will reopen tomorrow morning as usual.

Protected Time for Learning (PTL) allows staff across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire, protected time to be released for educational sessions such as basic life support, clinical management updates and mandatory training. These half days also give us the opportunity to review departmental policies and procedures, instate new services and review the monthly feedback from patients in order to look at improvements and implement any changes.

🌟 WE NEED YOUR VOICES! 🌟

Are you a parent, carer, or working-age patient at our practice?

We’re looking for new members to join our Patient Participation Group (PPG). We’d especially love to hear from younger patients and parents.

At the moment, a large number of our PPG members are retired patients — which is fantastic — but we want to make sure younger patients and families are represented too.

What does the PPG do?

✔ Gives feedback on appointments and access
✔ Helps improve services for patients
✔ Shapes new ideas and changes
✔ Represents the patient voice

What’s involved?

🕒 Only a few meetings per year
💻 Option to join online
😊 Friendly and informal

You don’t need medical knowledge — just your experience as a patient.
