Reminder: the prescription post boxes at both sites are for prescriptions only.

We’re seeing an increasing number of samples being posted into the box, and some are unlabelled, which means we cannot identify or contact the patient once they’ve been posted and left the building. Even if they're correctly labelled, they should not be put in the post boxes with the prescriptions due to the risk of contamination.

For everyone’s safety and to ensure your samples are handled correctly, please hand all samples directly to reception.

Cervical Screening Awareness Week 2026

This week is "Cervical Screening Awareness Week".

Did you know that nearly 1 in 3 women don't attend their cervical screening (smear) test.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer.

Don't ignore your invite. If you are due a smear test, call us to book this.

For Cervical Screening Awareness Week, we answer some common questions about cervical screening, including what to expect at a smear test.

Today is "Blue Monday". This day comes round each year, on the third Monday in January.

After the Christmas period, people can experience a dip in their mental health due to finances, cold weather and resolutions being broken.

It's that time of the month again where we post just some of the positive feedback we have received from our patients. 😊

We are aware that a number of patients are receiving letters from NHS England stating that their address is outside of the practice boundary and advising that they need to register with another practice.

If you haven’t moved from your current address, please contact the surgery immediately.

You do NOT need to register with another practice, and you will NOT be de-registered.

We are in contact with NHS England to try and understand why patients are receiving these letters as we are NOT advising them to contact you.

Thank you for continuing to support the practice.
