📢 Important Update to Prescription Queries 💊

We’d like to let you know about a small change we’ll be trialling from Monday to help improve the way prescription queries are managed.

⏰ New contact times for the Prescriptions Team:

9:00am – 11:00am
3:00pm – 4:00pm

During these times, you can contact the Prescriptions Team directly with any prescription-related queries.
✅ Why are we making this change?
Our aim is to:

Reduce the number of prescription calls coming through to Reception during the busiest part of the morning
Ensure your prescription queries are handled more efficiently by the most appropriate team

We hope this will help us provide a smoother and more effective service for everyone. Thank you, as always, for your support and understanding 💙

🌼 National Walking Month – Let’s Get Moving This May! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

May is National Walking Month, led by Living Streets, and it’s a great reminder of how something as simple as walking can make a real difference to our health and wellbeing.

Regular walking can help boost mood, reduce stress, improve fitness, and support long-term health. It’s also a wonderful way to enjoy fresh air, connect with your community, and take a bit of time for yourself.

This year’s theme encourages everyone to – whether that’s a short stroll, walking instead of driving where possible, or heading outside just for the joy of it.
Why not challenge yourself to add a little more walking into your day this May? Every step counts 💚
Let us know where your favourite local walk is, and don’t forget to share your walks using
