It is a chance to recognise the incredible difference our nurses, nursing associates and nursing students make to people’s lives and their communities every single day.

Great to talk to fellow patients at our surgery chat last Tuesday afternoon . We’ve been able to formally pass on your issues and concerns ( as well as a few compliments ! ) to the partners this evening at our monthly committee meeting.
FPS Committee members will be at the surgery on 2nd June between 2 and 4pm. Do come and talk with us . Remember we’re there to represent YOU !
