HELP US TO HELP YOU
You will have noticed that our practice is becoming bigger and busier. We have taken on many new patients over the past 3 – 4 years. GP surgeries are not allowed to close their practice list and so we need to work out how best to deal with the increased demand. At the moment, since Covid, we are experiencing unprecedented demand, we are trying to make contact with as many of our patients as we can in the working day. The Doctors can talk to 2 or 3 patients by telephone in the time it takes to see 1 patient face to face and many of our patients prefer to speak to their doctor this way. We are still seeing patients who need to be examined, your doctor will arrange a time with you if you need to come to surgery.
Please understand that we are doing our best to cope with the demand and please consider using pharmacists and self treatment as a first line. IF YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR, WE ARE HERE TO HELP.
