🩺 Important Reminder for Our Patients

We are currently seeing an increase in patients attending the surgery when they have recently experienced sickness and diarrhoea, then advising our clinical team once they are in the consultation room with them.

To help protect our patients, staff and visitors, please do not attend your appointment if you have had sickness or diarrhoea within the last 48 hours.

This is particularly important as some of our staff are immunocompromised and may be more vulnerable to infections.

📞 Please contact the surgery as soon as possible to rearrange your appointment if you have experienced sickness or diarrhoea within the last 48 hours.

We appreciate that rearranging an appointment can be inconvenient, but your cooperation helps us keep everyone safe.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us protect our patients and staff. 💙

💉 We are starting to send invites out for this years Covid and Flu vaccinations, with clinics beginning from 3rd October. 💉

Invitations for eligible patients are being sent in batches, so please don't worry if you haven't received yours just yet.

Each year, we order enough flu vaccines for all eligible patients. Please book your appointment with the surgery, as unused vaccines may go to waste.

Our staff really enjoy running these clinics. It's a whole-team effort and a great opportunity to see many patients we may not have seen for a while.

A big thank you in advance to our Patient Participation Group (PPG), who will be helping patients find the right place to go on the day.

May 18-24 marks Dementia Action Week.

If you care for someone living with dementia, the worry that they may become lost, confused or disorientated while out and about can be constant.

Our Dementia Safeguarding Scheme is here to help.

The free service allows families and carers to share vital information with police ahead of time, meaning that if someone living with dementia is reported missing, officers can access the information straight away and take action quickly.

Eligible people registered with the scheme can also request free assistance devices, including Life360 Bluetooth Tracking Tiles to help locate someone if they go missing, and NFC wristbands or tags that can be scanned by someone helping them to access key contact information and get them to safety.

Our partnership with Avon Fire & Rescue Service ensures people registered with the scheme are also referred for a free home fire safety visit, helping to reduce risk both at home and in the community.
