Today, the surgery remains open, but we will be operating with a reduced team as a number of staff will be attending the funeral of our much-loved colleague, Sue.
​
This may mean longer-than-usual waits for calls and PATCHS requests. If your request is not urgent, you may prefer to contact us on another day. If you have a medical emergency, please call 999.
​
Thank you for your patience and understanding at this sad time.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week (11-17 May 2026) and this year's theme is Action. Even small actions can make a big difference to how we feel, and when we take action together, we're even more powerful.
⁣
This week, consider one small positive action:
⁣
➢ For yourself: take a short walk, take a proper lunch break, get an early night.
⁣
➢ For someone else: send a message, check in, listen without judgement.
⁣
➢ For all of us: be kind, challenge stigma, help build a mentally healthy community.
