Evening all,

We have received sone updated Guidelines regarding Asthma Inhalers. When you come in for your Annual Review things may change, this will be discussed by our Practice Nurses.

We usually do annual reviews in your Birthday month, but If you have not had a Review in the last 10 months then please book in with Kristie, Becki or Katie.

🩺 Workforce Update at the Practice

We currently have several staffing changes and development activities underway that will support service continuity and future clinical capacity:

👩‍⚕️ Nurse Prescriber Training
One of our practice nurses are currently undertaking training to become independent prescriber.

This will enhance our clinical skill mix and increase our ability to manage minor illness, long‑term conditions, and medication reviews in‑house.

We also have our current Nurse Associate completing her Registered Nurse Degree which will further enhance the skill mix.

During their training period, their clinical availability will be slightly reduced.

👩‍⚕️ Temporary Nursing Associate (NA) Cover

To maintain safe staffing levels while the nurse complete their prescriber training, we have arranged temporary cover from a Nursing Associate, Kate will be starting at the Practice from Wednesday this week.

This ensures continuity of patient care and supports the wider clinical team.

The NA will assist with routine tasks and chronic disease monitoring as does our current NA Danielle.

👶 Staff Member Returning From Maternity Leave

A reception team member is due to return from maternity leave shortly.

A phased return plan is being arranged to support a smooth transition and Welcome Sarah back into the practice.

This will help stabilise the rota and strengthen capacity across the team.

Many thanks
