⚠️ Important Update: Issues with the NHS App Booking System

The NHS App are currently experiencing ongoing issues with the appointment booking system, which has been affecting access for approximately the last 6 weeks.

Blood test appointments - The option to book blood tests via the NHS App is currently unavailable.

Patients wishing to book a blood test should instead:

📞 Call the practice on Option 8, then Option 1, or
🏥 Attend the surgery reception in person.

NHS Health Check bookings - Please note that the NHS Health Check booking option is still appearing as active on the app. However, this is currently not available for blood test appointments, and we are seeing continued incorrect bookings through this route.

NHS App are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and will provide updates when the situation changes.

Thank you for your patience.

We’re incredibly proud of two of our colleagues Dr Nicholas Thomas and Autumn who recently took on the London Marathon and absolutely smashed it! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Their dedication and determination were inspiring, and we’re now gearing up to continue supporting their fundraising efforts.

In just 8 days, our team will be taking on a sponsored walk to help raise funds for three amazing charities chosen by them:

✨ Cancer Research UK
✨ Sudden Cardiac Arrest UK
✨ Penny Brohn UK

We’re also cheering on Jacqui, who will be taking part in The MoonWalk on Saturday 16th May, another fantastic challenge.

We’re so close to our fundraising target and every donation makes a real difference. If you’re able to support us, we’d be very grateful.

Thank you for helping us support these incredible charities and the people behind them 💙
