Important update

We recently ran a campaign promoting the NHS App and encouraging patients to ensure that notifications are switched on. The NHS App is now our preferred method of communication with patients wherever possible.

For patients who do not use the NHS App, our next preferred method of communication will be email, followed by text message (SMS) where necessary.

This change is required due to significant changes in the funding arrangements for text messaging services, which have resulted in increased costs for GP practices.

We would be grateful if patients could ensure that their contact details are up to date and, where possible, download and enable notifications on the NHS App.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

NHS Health Checks

Are you aged 40-74 years old and DO NOT have a pre-existing condition such as heart disease, heart failure, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease or are being treated for high blood pressure or cholesterol. If yes you are eligible for a free NHS health check. Tests include blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar tests, kidney and liver function tests, height and weight and a lifestyle questionnaire, the first part of your appointment will be with the Health Care Assistant. Once we have all of the results of your tests we can then calculate your risk of developing heart problems or diabetes etc.

We can then put all measures in place to prevent any early developments of the above chronic diseases. Dependent on the results of your tests you may need a second appointment with our Nursing Team .

Remember early prevention has better outcomes.

Please call the surgery at your earliest convenience to make an appointment.
