Our aim is to provide all our patients with up to date news and information about our practice. As well as a source of information about our practice, the staff and the services we provide, we hope that you will use this site as a useful resource for other health-related information. We will keep it current with any developments or other details that we feel relevant to you. Feel free to send us any feedback .

The report on this year's patient consultation has now been published, or see here. Thank you to everyone who helped by filling in questionnaires, or attending the patient open evening.

Our Patient Participation Group (PPG) held a very successful event for carers on Thursday 16 May, with various organisations presenting to carers about the support they can offer. Carers attending commented:

· “I really feel I have achieved something by coming here tonight” and

· “I had no idea there was so much support out there for us – and now I do”

Keep an eye on the noticeboards for future events which may be of interest, or here for more about the PPG.

The contact number for the Out-of-Hours service has changed again, from 22 Jan 13. Please now dial 111 for Out-of-Hours and for NHS Direct. Calls to this number are not charged. More details on the Out of Hours tab on our Appointments page, here.

Please contact us if you think you may be eligible for flu or whooping cough vaccinations. We will be sending letters to some patients using Docmail, a well-established provider of such services.
