🚨 DON'T MISS YOUR APPOINTMENT! 🚨
Please write down your appointment details as soon as you book. While our automated text and email reminders are helpful, technology can occasionally fail. Relying solely on them means you might miss your slot.🗓️

Two Quick Steps to Stay On Track:
Grab a pen: Write the date and time, on a calendar, diary or on your mobile.
Set an alarm: Put a manual reminder in your phone right away.
Every missed appointment stops another patient in need from seeing a doctor. Help us by keeping track of your booking!

If you live in England, you can use Right to Choose to get an assessment through an independent provider. unsure on how to get started?
Research providers: Look up independent, NHS-approved clinics to compare their current waiting times.
Download a letter: Most provider websites offer a pre-made referral letter template for your doctor.
Book a GP appointment: Give our friendly reception team a call to make that appointment. We can also send you a link with the providers should you need.
Learn how the process works at NHS Right to Choose Guide.

💉 August is National Immunisation awareness month!

As the summer holidays continue, it is the perfect time to make sure your family is fully protected before the new school year starts. Vaccines are our best defence against serious diseases and keep our communities safe. Did you know? The UK routine childhood schedule changed this year. Children are now offered the combined MMRV vaccine at 12 and 18 months, which adds crucial protection against chickenpox alongside measles, mumps, and rubella. Here is how you can take action today:
Check the Red Book: Review your child's health record or the NHS app to see if they are up to date. Call your GP: If you or your children have missed any routine appointments, contact your surgery to arrange a quick catch-up . Let’s work together to keep everyone healthy!👉 Learn more about the current schedules on the NHS Vaccinations Page.

The NHS Best Start In Life have created a guide to help parents and carers of children under 5 navigate screen time 👫

The guidance advises:
Under 2's - Avoid screen time except shared activities with families
2-5 yrs - Try to keep to 1 hour a day

They advise slow paced, predictable content for young brains with simple stories that use clear and slow speech so emotions are easy to follow 💛

'Large amounts of screen time are linked with negative effects on children’s health
and development. It can affect social, emotional, language & brain development, sleep, eyesight and weight.' 👧
