🚨 IMPORTANT REMINDER – PRACTICE CAR PARK 🚨

We are once again asking everyone to please use our surgery car park responsibly and considerately.

We have noticed a significant increase in people using our car park when dropping off or collecting children from the nearby school. This is not acceptable and is causing a major problem for our patients who are genuinely attending the surgery and need to park.

This is not the first time we have had to raise this issue, and unfortunately, it has become a particularly big problem this week.

We would also like to remind patients who are using the car park for appointments to please park sensibly and within the designated bays.
Please do not:
❌ Block the entrance or exit
❌ Block another vehicle in
❌ Park across spaces or in areas that are not designated parking bays
❌ Leave your vehicle in a position that prevents other patients from accessing the car park safely

We have had several incidents this week that could easily have been avoided if vehicles had simply been parked considerately.

Our car park is there for patients and visitors attending the surgery, not for school drop-offs or collections. We appreciate that parking can be difficult at busy times, but this cannot come at the expense of patients who need access to their medical appointments.

Please be considerate. Please use the parking bays correctly, and not park in Doctors parking bays. Please do not block other cars or our entrance to the surgery.

We need everyone to work with us on this. This is not acceptable and cannot continue.

Thank you for your cooperation 🙏

🐴❤️ Could you give our special rocking horse some TLC? ❤️🐴

Our much-loved rocking horse here at the surgery is in need of a little TLC and a new lease of life! He’s been part of the surgery for many years and we’d love to find someone local, kind and creative who might be willing to give him a little makeover and help make him look beautiful again.

We’re hoping there might be someone in our local community who would be happy to take on this little project as a kind gesture, free of charge, and give our special rocking horse the care and attention he deserves 🥰
The rocking horse would need to be collected from the surgery, lovingly restored, and then returned to us 🥰

If you have the skills and would be happy to help, or know someone who might be, please get in touch with us.

We’d be incredibly grateful! 💕🐴

Heat exhaustion symptoms:
☀️tiredness
☀️dizziness
☀️headache
☀️feeling sick (nausea) or being sick (vomiting)
☀️excessive sweating and skin becoming pale and clammy (a change in skin colour can be harder to see on brown or black skin)
☀️cramps in the arms, legs and stomach
☀️a high temperature
☀️being very thirsty

Heat exhaustion does not usually need emergency medical help if you can cool down within 30 minutes. But if it turns into heatstroke, it needs to be treated as an emergency.

It’s important to know the signs of heatstroke and how to get help. Call 999 if you or someone else have signs of heatstroke.

👉 Read our advice to understand the difference between heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and what to do if you or someone else is experiencing either. https://ow.ly/HWbm50ZypxO

As the hot weather continues, know how to look after yourself and others ⬇️

If you need urgent medical help but you’re not sure where to go, contact NHS 111 to get assessed and directed to the right place for you.

For life-threatening emergencies, call 999.

Using the right service helps ensure ambulances are available for those who need them most.
