👏 **A big thank you to our amazing Portcullis Surgery team aswell as the Emergency Services Fire, Police and Ambulance for their assistance yesterday!👏

We would like to take a moment to thank all our staff for their professionalism, teamwork and calm response during a particularly busy Flu and COVID vaccination clinic on Saturday where we vaccinated in excess of 1500 of our patients.

During the session, a road traffic collision (RTC) occurred in the Galdeford car park just outside our surgery involving two patients. Despite the clinic already being extremely busy, our team responded quickly and professionally, making sure those involved were assessed and supported appropriately.

We are delighted to receive this lovely feedback from James Davies, a Critical Care Paramedic and Associate Mentor at the Hereford Hub, who was present at the time:

“Highly impressed by the response given to your patients on a busy OOH vaccination session day despite it occurring outside of the surgery grounds itself.”

He also specifically asked us to pass on his thanks to our car park volunteer, Mr Andy Wilding, who did a fantastic job assisting at the scene.

It is easy to take these things for granted, but moments like this really demonstrate the care, professionalism and teamwork of our whole Portcullis team. ❤️

We would also like to thank the paramedics, policemen and fire service for their fantastic response.

Thankyou to everyone who helped — from the clinical team to our reception, administration and car park volunteers. We are very proud of you all. 👏

And finally, our best wishes to the two people involved in the RTC for a speedy recovery.

Congratulations Katie Bromley on passing your driving test. 😍😍 Katie has worked here with us for 2 years and insisted on saying to us initially that she did not need to drive as she could walk to work. What a little 🌟

Everyone at Portcullis Surgery would like to wish our wonderful receptionist Chris Jennings a very Happy 70th Birthday! 🎈🎉

But as we all know… 70 is the new 50! 😉 And Chris certainly seems to agree, as she’s showing absolutely no sign of retiring anytime soon! 😂

We’re so lucky to have Chris as part of our team. Her warmth, humour and, of course, that lovely smile brighten up the surgery every day. ❤️

We hope you have a fantastic day celebrating with your family and a wonderful year ahead. 🥂🎂

🏠 Message in a Bottle – available at Portcullis Surgery

We now have a supply of Lions Message in a Bottle kits available to collect from reception at Portcullis Surgery. 💚

It’s a simple idea that could make a real difference in an emergency.

The bottle contains important information about you, such as:
💊 Your medications
⚠️ Allergies and medical conditions
📞 Emergency contact details
🏥 Other useful information for emergency services

The completed form is kept inside the bottle in your fridge, where emergency services know to look. A green cross sticker on your fridge and inside your front door alerts them that you have a Message in a Bottle. (Message in a Bottle)

It can be particularly useful for older people, people living alone, those with long-term conditions, allergies or disabilities, but the scheme is available to anyone who would like the reassurance of having essential information readily available in an emergency. (Message in a Bottle)

📍 Collect your FREE bottle from reception at Portcullis Surgery.

Please remember to keep the information inside it up to date, particularly if your medications, allergies or emergency contact details change. (Message in a Bottle)

When time is saved, lives are saved. 💚

🎓 A Levels – Results Day 2026 🎓

A huge well done to our lovely receptionists Libby and Lilia, who have both done brilliantly in their A Levels! 👏❤️

We’re especially proud to see where their hard work and determination is taking them next.

📚 Libby is heading off to Worcester University in September to study Primary Education with QTS– we know she’ll be amazing! 🍎✨

🏡 Lilia is staying with us at Portcullis for another year, and will be looking at her university options ready for September 2027. We’re very pleased to be keeping her with us a little longer! 😊

But today is also a good reminder that grades are not everything. They are a snapshot of one moment, not a definition of who you are, what you can achieve or where your life will take you. The journey, the resilience, the friendships, the experiences and everything you’ve learned along the way matter just as much. ❤️

For any young people who may be struggling with their results, feeling anxious about the future or simply not sure what comes next, please don’t feel you have to deal with it alone.

Our counsellor, Siri, specialises in adolescent mental health. If you or your young person would benefit from some support, please contact our reception team who can advise you on what help is available.

And finally… well done Libby and Lilia! 🎉 We’re incredibly proud of you both! ❤️
