Yesterday, our team traded our usual gear for a sea of pink! 🩷

​We proudly wore pink to stand together for Pink Shirt Day 2026. For us, it’s about so much more than just a color—it's a commitment to reducing bullying, celebrating diversity in all its forms, and making sure our workplace is safe, supportive, and inclusive for everyone.

​Kindness looks good on everyone!

It is still a bit wet and windy out there today. We are open for all your healthcare needs as usual today. IF you prefer to have a phone consultation, rather than come to the surgery, please contact reception and let us know.

From February 1st some patients may be eligible to receive prescriptions for up to 12 months medication.

Not everyone will be eligible for a longer prescription, and an in-person review with a GP will be REQUIRED to confirm whether this option is appropriate for you.

Prior to this review, your regular prescriptions will remain on the regular 3 monthly prescribing as before.

You may be able to receive a 12-month prescription if:
Your health condition is stable
Your medication and dose haven’t changed in at least 6 months
You don’t need regular monitoring, like frequent blood tests or blood pressure checks
The medication is approved for 12-month prescribing

Some prescriptions are not eligible for this change, including:
Controlled medications, such as opioids or adhd medications
Medicines taken infreuqently or not for long term use
Medications that require ongoing monitoring
Or if your health condition or medication has changed recently
