We’re really pleased to share that patients at Hicks Surgery have given overwhelmingly positive feedback this month, with most rating their experience as very good.

Patients consistently highlight our friendly, caring and professional staff, with many saying they felt listened to, reassured and treated with kindness throughout their visit. There is also strong feedback about appointments running on time and efficient care, with quick responses when needed.

We know there are still areas to improve, particularly around appointment access and communication, and we’re continuing to focus on making this better for everyone.

Thank you to all our patients for your feedback and continued support 💙

💙 Loneliness happens to all of us 💙
Feeling lonely doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. You can feel lonely even when surrounded by people or active on social media — and that’s more common than you might think.

Small steps can make a big difference, like:
✨ keeping in touch with friends or family
✨ joining a group around something you enjoy
✨ sharing how you’re feeling
✨ checking in on someone else
Loneliness can pass, and support is available. You’re not alone in feeling this way.
