We’d like to thank all our patients for their patience and understanding over the past few days.

Due to recent IT issues, our systems have been significantly disrupted for the last 3 days. Our team is working hard to catch up on appointments, prescriptions, and enquiries as quickly and safely as possible.

We kindly ask for your continued patience while we work through the backlog. If your request is not urgent, please consider contacting us next week where possible to help us prioritise those in greatest need.

Thank you for your support — we truly appreciate it.

We are aware of IT issues currently affecting GP practices across Kent and Medway and are working hard to resolve these as quickly as possible.

Please be patient with your general practice during this time as they are doing their best to help you.

We would ask patients to continue to treat staff at your GP practice with courtesy and respect as they are working hard to keep services running and they have no control over the situation.
