International Nurses Day 12th May

Nursing is a skilled and safety-critical profession across the world.
Despite their vital role, many nurses face shared challenges, including workforce shortages and increasing pressure on health systems.

Global support and recognition are more important than ever. This year, we’re helping to amplify the voice of nursing worldwide.

Hello all,

Police are investigating an incident at the practice this morning where a patient became aggressive and assaulted members of staff. No one required hospital treatment, but this was a distressing incident and we are supporting those affected. There may be some disruption to services this afternoon and patients needing urgent care should contact NHS 111. All services are expected to resume, as normal, on Monday. Violence against NHS staff is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Thank you for your patience and understanding

Morning all! 🙂☀️

Reminder for patients
Patient parking notice🚗

Please be advised that our car park is strictly for
Blue Badge holders only

This helps ensure that patients with accessibility needs can park safely and conveniently, while also keeping access clear for emergency vehicles and preventing damage to the surgery and vehicles.

We have received reports of the public using the car park and then walking into the High Street. This is not permitted and kindly ask for this to be stopped immediately.

Patients without a Blue Badge should use nearby public parking, such as Mill Lane Car Park, a short walk from the surgery. Other local options include High Street Car Park and Station Road Car Park in Witham.

We thank you for your cooperation in keeping our car park safe, accessible, and reserved for those who need it most 🙏

Hello all,
Hope everyone has had a lovely week! 🌤️

We now have more blood test appointments available to book online through the NHS App or SystmOnline, which can be accessed via our website.

Please note that blood test appointments are available on weekday mornings only.

These appointments are strictly for having your blood test taken and are not for discussing test results or symptoms.

If you believe you need a blood test but do not have a blood test request form, please first book an appointment with a clinician to discuss this. This can be done through the NHS App or by requesting an appointment via our website through Accurx.

You would not be able to book a blood test through the NHS app if you already have 2 future appointments booked, so you would need to request the appointment through our website through Accurx.
