𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭-𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐝 🥵 ☀️

We are strongly urging people to take care of themselves and others in the upcoming heat conditions.

The vulnerable and those who are at-risk are more likely to suffer in the heat and could become seriously ill with health complications. However, in these conditions anyone could be at risk. Please take care of yourself.

Whilst we want everyone to enjoy this warm weather it is important that we all take simple steps to help us stay healthy at this time. It is easy to become dehydrated in hot weather as we can soon lose more fluid than we take in, and even people at the peak of physical fitness can become ill if they are not careful.

Drink cold non-alcoholic drinks regularly, keep out of the sun during the hottest times of the day between 11am – 3pm, and avoid physical exertion in the heat where possible.

People who are elderly, the very young and those with chronic conditions are more at risk, so please check on vulnerable friends and neighbours every day during the heatwave.

📢 Important update about GP patient lists

You may have seen reports about GP practices across England carrying out more extensive “list cleansing”.

This is a routine process designed to make sure GP records are accurate and remove people who have moved away or are no longer registered.

Over 300,000 patients have reportedly been removed from GP lists across England in the past year. Patients who do not respond to letters asking them to confirm their registration may be removed, which could potentially affect access to their GP and continuity of care.

⚠️ If you receive a letter asking you to confirm that you are still registered with your GP practice, please respond as soon as possible.

If you have any concerns about your registration or believe you have been removed from our practice list incorrectly, please contact us so we can check your details.

We want to reassure our patients that your safety and continued access to your GP practice remain our priority. ❤️

💊 Important Update Regarding Medication Supply Issues

We are doing everything we can to obtain your medication, but unfortunately some items are currently unavailable due to ongoing manufacturer and supplier shortages. This is outside of our control.

If we are unable to source your medication, we will do our best to provide you with a prescription that you can take to another pharmacy. Larger pharmacies may have access to a wider range of suppliers and stock than we do.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding during this time. Please remember that our dispensary team is working incredibly hard to help every patient. They are not responsible for these supply issues and should not be subjected to abuse, aggression, or disrespect.

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and kindness—it is greatly appreciated. 💙
