UPDATE 13:45

Our power and wifi connection has returned so the Practice is up and running again.

IMPORTANT NOTICE 🚨

We are currently experiencing temporary issues with the power in the Windrush Medical Practice. As a result, we have reduced lighting and no phone line capacity. This has happened twice this morning and has resolved but we are cautious that this may happen again due to the weather.

We are aiming to resolve this as quickly as possible. Please keep checking back for updates.

If you need urgent medical advice, please contact 111.

Thank you for your patience,

Windrush Medical Practice

📅 This Remembrance Day, we stand proud as a Veteran Friendly Accredited GP Practice, dedicated to supporting our veteran community🪖🌺

We know this time of year can be especially challenging for many veterans, and we want you to know that we’re here for you.

As a Veteran Friendly Accredited practice, our team recognises the importance of identifying veteran patients and understands the unique health needs that veterans may have.

On Tuesday 11th November 2025 at 11:00am the practice will observe a two-minute silence to mark Remembrance Day. This act of reflection honours the courage, service, and sacrifice of all those who have served in the Armed Forces and those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
