Dear Patients,

Please be aware there is a possibility of delay or disruption to appointments today due to a national issue (being worked on by the NHS tech teams) around our ability to log on. This may be intermittent or affect some staff but not others.

We appreciate your patience and hope you can bear with us.

Kind Regards

Dear Patients,

Please be aware that if you have downloaded the LIVI APP in order to get a free remote consultation that you will be asked to state which Practice you belong to.

If you are a Lakeside Practice patient you will need to state Victoria Cross Surgery (Lakeside is a branch site of Victoria Cross).

If you enter Lakeside rather than Victoria Cross the app will offer a 'pay for' rather than free service.
