It's "Know Your Numbers" Week!

High blood pressure often has no symptoms at all, the only way to know is to get checked. Pop into our surgery or a local pharmacy for a free check, it takes just a couple of minutes and could make a real difference.

Many people struggle to stay active simply because they haven’t found an activity they truly enjoy.

The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to follow what others like; physical activity comes in many forms! 💪

⚠️ Important patient update

Due to the current severe weather, including torrential rain, thunder and lightning, we are experiencing intermittent power cuts at both Ashbourne and Brailsford surgeries.

These outages may affect our phone lines and, importantly, access to our clinical systems. If our clinical system is unavailable, our team may be unable to safely access patient records or action requests until the system is restored.

You can still submit a triage request as normal, but please be aware there may be a delay in our team being able to review and respond to it.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while the weather conditions continue. We will keep you updated if anything changes.

Flu vaccination bookings are starting 💉
Some eligible patients have already received their invitation and are booking their appointments, which is great to see.

This year, some patients will need to complete a short questionnaire before we can send their flu vaccination booking link.

If you receive a text from us with a link to a questionnaire:
✅ Please complete and return it
✅ Once we receive your response, your booking link will follow.

If the questionnaire is not completed, we will not be able to send you a booking link for your flu vaccination.

So, if you are eligible, please keep an eye on your text messages and make sure you respond to any questionnaire we send you.

Thank you for helping us keep the booking process running smoothly.
