Coming in September : A New Look Website 🖥️

In response to patient feedback from the GP Patient Survey, we are updating our website to provide a clearer, more accessible, and easier-to-use experience. We are working closely with our PPG in this and look forward to sharing these improvements with you soon. ☺️

UPDATED

The 2026 GP Patient Survey results are now available, and we are pleased to see that we continue to score significantly above the national average across most key areas. Overall, patient experience at the practice was rated 7% higher than the national average. ☺️

While we are encouraged that our results remain well above the national average, we will continue to review patient feedback carefully and look for opportunities to improve our services further.

Welcome back to Dr Blanshard who has returned to us as a permanent salaried GP.
Dr Blanshard may be known to patients as she was one of our GP registrars in 2021-24, and has worked occasionally for us as a locum since qualifying in 2024. We are over-the-moon to have her back with us in a permanent position. 😁

Sad news as Dr Langran leaves us to spend more time with his young family.
We know he’ll be hugely missed by staff and patients alike, and we send our love and gratitude for his commitment, compassion and care in the 5 years he’s been with us.
We hope he’ll pop back at some point in a locum capacity. Here’s a photo of him and Dr Barr at his leaving do last week. ❤️

Huge well done to Dr Barr, Dr Hickman and our retired practice manager Kath who all ran the Dronfield 10k yesterday 🤩 🥇 👏

🦠Spring COVID-19 Booster Campaign 🦠

Over the next few days we will be inviting eligible patients to book their Spring COVID-19 booster vaccination.

This booster helps protect those most at risk from serious illness, especially as immunity can decrease over time.

Who can get the spring booster?
✔️ Adults aged 75 and over
✔️ Residents in care homes for older adults
✔️ Individuals aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system

How to book
We will send all eligible patients (with a mobile number) a booking link to our clinics. Patients can also come into reception or telephone 01246 412242 to book.

The main clinics will be on Saturday 18th April and Wednesday 13th May, but there are a small number of appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays too.
