🌟 It’s Half Term Week! 🌟
A quick reminder of ‘Where Is Best?’ when you need medical help:

🏥 Minor injuries / urgent problems: Consider using local urgent care or minor injury units.
💊 Self‑care & pharmacies: Your local pharmacy can offer fast advice for many common conditions.
🩺 Your GP practice: For ongoing conditions or issues that need your doctor’s input.
📞 Visiting patients: Please contact your own GP practice first — they hold your full medical records and can provide the safest, most appropriate care.

Thank you for helping us ensure everyone receives the right care in the right place. 😊

Along with the rest of the NHS we are currently experiencing a overwhelming demand for our services.

We are also having to manage clinicians and team members who have become unwell and are unable to work ( we are human too!).

We are doing our very best to help as many of our patients as possible, but we ask for your patience as we try to prioritise those most in need, while also trying to respond to more routine enquiries.

We realise that dental problems can be incredibly painful and that accessing a dentist is difficult for many of our patients, however your GP practice is not the right place to go for help.

Cornwall and Isles of Scilly have now made available urgent dental appointments to support patients with sudden or complex dental needs.

This service is open Monday- Friday 08.30-17.00, outside of these hours you should contact NHS 111

18/11/2025

We are experiencing a huge increase in demand this week, we are doing the best we can to prioritise the most urgent cases, please be patient as it might take longer for us to get to routine issues.

Things you can do to help us:
Please do not submit repeated triage requests for the same issue - our turnaround time for responding to routine requests is 5 working days - please allow us the time to do this. Sending follow up request just adds to our workload and causes more delays.
Explore avenues for self care before contacting us, 111 online, over the counter medications, speaking to a Pharmacist
Consider how urgent your need is before submitting a request, if you can wait until next week then please do so.
Make contact as early in the day as you can ( triage opens at 8.00) urgent requests that come in late in the day are very difficult for our team to accommodate.

Thank you for your help.
