Temporary Closure of Little Eaton Surgery

Due to an unexpectedly high level of staff sickness within our Reception Team, alongside pre-booked annual leave during the school holiday period, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close Little Eaton Surgery from Monday 27th July to Friday 31st July 2026.

This decision has not been taken lightly. Our priority is to ensure we can continue to provide a safe and effective service for all our patients across the practice.

During this time:
• Patients with pre-booked appointments at Little Eaton will be contacted if their appointment is affected.
• Our Duffield Surgery will remain open as normal.
• You can continue to contact us by telephone, online or via the NHS App as usual.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding while we manage these temporary staffing pressures.

Thank you for your continued support.

💙 Learning Disability Week 2026 💙

This week, we're joining Mencap in celebrating Learning Disability Week and raising awareness of this year's theme: "Do you see me?"

It's a reminder that people with a learning disability deserve to be seen, heard and valued for who they are – with their voices listened to, their contributions recognised, and the same opportunities to thrive in their communities.

Let's challenge barriers, celebrate individuality and work together to create a more inclusive society for everyone. 💙
