🚨We would like to remind everyone that our surgery has a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of abuse, aggression, or threatening behaviour towards our staff.

Our team comes to work each day to care for and support our patients. They do not come to work to be shouted at, insulted, or made to feel upset or unsafe. While we understand that people may sometimes feel frustrated or anxious, this does not make abusive behaviour acceptable.

Our staff work extremely hard and always do their best to help every patient, often in very busy and challenging circumstances. We ask that everyone treats them with the same courtesy and respect that they themselves would expect to receive.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.🩵

A little reminder about confidentiality 💙

When visiting the surgery, please could we kindly ask patients to stand back from the reception desk and wait to be called forward.

This helps us protect everyone’s confidentiality, particularly when our reception team are speaking with another patient or are on the telephone.

We really appreciate your patience, understanding and support in helping us maintain everyone’s privacy. 💙

Thank you for your cooperation.

💛 Have you seen our new sign in the waiting area? 💛

A little thank you can go a long way! 🥰✨
Is there someone in our team you’d like to send a little thank you to? 🌟

Maybe it’s a friendly receptionist who recently helped you 📞, a manager you’ve spoken to 💬, or a clinician who looked after you at a recent appointment 🩺💙.

Whatever the reason, these small acts of kindness mean so much to our team and can really brighten someone’s day! 😊💐
A few kind words can make a big difference. 💛

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday, Tori! 🥳💖

Today we're celebrating our amazing HCA, Tori! 🌸 Although she's only been part of the practice for a short time, she's already become such a valued member of our team. 💙
