Final Notice: Surgery Parking Notice to All Local Residents

Despite multiple polite requests and direct conversations over recent months, unauthorised parking on private surgery land continues to block patient access.

This is a formal notice that we are now taking immediate legal steps to remove unauthorised vehicles.

A locked bollard system will be installed to secure these spaces permanently.

Our priority is our patients, many of whom are vulnerable and have faced severe disruption due to these actions.

Unauthorised parking will no longer be tolerated.

We thank our patient community for their ongoing patience and understanding.

We are proud to announce that we have migrated to Medicus – a next generation electronic patient record (EPR) system developed specifically for the NHS.

This move is in keeping with our ongoing commitment to using technology in ways that support patient care, improve efficiency, and reduce unnecessary administrative burden.

Many patients will have noticed the growing trend of national GP computer meltdowns – not only happening more often, but hitting harder each time. This new technology will provide much needed stability.

Along with our new 24/7 medication collection pod, we are investing in local healthcare services for future generations.

We thank our patient community for your support and patience whilst we familiarise ourselves with this new technology.

The surgery at Bow currently has no power. Our North Tawton team are working hard to help as many patients as possible.

Please bear with us until power is restored-that is if we don’t all melt in the meantime 🥵
