Taking ANTIBIOTICS when you don't need them puts you and your family at risk

Taking antibiotics encourages harmful bacteria that live inside you to become resistant.  That means that antibiotics may not work when you really need them.  This puts you and your family at risk of a more severe or longer illness.

Take your doctor or nurse's advice when it comes to antibiotics.

Your feedback counts

Many people don't quite know how to provide feedback on the care they have received from the NHS, but it's incredibly important to have your say so you can help shape and improve your local services.

The NHS Friends and Family Test gives you the chance to provide quick, anonymous feedback on your care and treatment experience.  All you have to do is ask to complete the Friends and Family Test in the surgery or complete online by clicking on "take the patient survey" on the home page, and you can say what went well and what you think can be improved.

Your feedback really can help to make a difference to patients' lives.  To find out more about the NHS Friends and Family Test please visit:-  www.nhs.uk/friendsandfamily

Zero Tolerance

We aim to treat our patients courteously at all times and expect our patients to treat our staff with due respect. We take seriously any threatening, abusive or violent behaviour against any of our staff or patients.

If a patient is violent or abusive they will be warned to stop such behaviour. If they persist, we may exercise our right to take action to have them removed, immediately if necessary, from our list of patients.

Medicines Alerts

We are reaching out to keep you informed about a recent update concerning the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine.

As part of ongoing safety monitoring, health authorities have observed a very rare potential association between RSV vaccination and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a neurological condition that can cause temporary muscle weakness or, in rare cases, more serious complications. It’s important to note that the risk appears to be extremely low, and no direct cause-and-effect relationship has been confirmed.

Your safety is our highest priority. The RSV vaccine continues to be recommended for eligible individuals, particularly older adults and those with underlying health conditions, as it offers strong protection against serious illness caused by RSV.

We encourage you to:

  • Monitor your health in the weeks following vaccination.
  • Contact us if you experience unusual symptoms such as weakness, tingling sensations, or difficulty walking.

Please contact the surgery if you have any of these symptoms within the 6 week period following your RSV vaccination.
