NHS Blood Test Tube Shortage
With the international shortage of blood test bottles we will only be booking urgent bloods, such as for patients undergoing chemotherapy at this moment in time. Most other blood test appointments will be booked by the clinicians themselves.
If you are unsure as to whether or not your blood requested by the hospital is urgent or not you will need to refer back to your consultant for clarification.
Currently booked appointments will remain unchanged at the moment but will reviewed at the end of each week.
We are hoping the situation will resolved by 17th September.

Covid Restriction Update - July 19th
Since March 2020 we have made every attempt to make the Unit as safe as possible for patients and staff. This is something that we remain fully committed to.
From 19th July, nothing will change at the Unit. Staff will continue to wear PPE and patients will be required to wear a mask to enter the building. Continuing to wear masks protects everyone who comes to the Unit, especially the young, elderly and vulnerable.
We have been seeing patients face to face all through the pandemic. Everything starts with a phone call and if a face to face appointment is clinically required then this is arranged by the clinician usually on the same day.
In March 2021; 3616 patients had an appointment, in April 2021 that figure was 3406 and in May 2021; 3846.
In June 2021; 3399 patients had an appointment at the Unit, 774 of those patients had bloods taken. Other appointments included covid vaccinations, children and babies immunisations, dressing of wounds, cervical smears, INR testing, chronic disease reviews and treatment of minor injuries.

Saturday Morning Closure
Due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation, the Medical Unit and Dispensary will remain closed on Saturday mornings until further notice.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Access to the Medical Unit - Coronavirus
Due to Covid; we have decided to limit the access to the Medical Unit for the foreseeable future. We are asking patients to only present at the surgery if they have an appointment, a prescription to collect or a form or letter to collect.
If you do need to come in to the Medical Unit for whatever reason we will be screening all patients either over phone or at the main entrance.
We are encouraging patients to either contact us via telephone, if they have any queries or need to order a prescription.
Appointments Line: 01530 270 933
Enquiries Line: 01530 270 667
To register for Online Services please call our enquiries line; where one of our receptionists will issue you with a Username and Password for you to make appointments and order prescriptions online.
Appointment Changes - Coronavirus
We have changed the way our appointments are being offered at the Medical Unit to help combat the spread of Coronavirus.
We are currently trying to telephone triage all of our appointments where possible; this is including the appointments we offer with with the GPs, Nurses, Pharmacist and our Morning Clinic. Patients are only being asked to present at the surgery if they have had a phone call with a clinician first and if the clinician believes it is both necessary and safe for them to do so. All patients will be screened for possible coronavirus symptoms by either the receptionist or clinician, prior to them coming into the Medical Unit for their appointment.
We are currently going through our appointment list and changing all appointments where possible to a telephone triage appointment instead. Patients will be informed of the changes to their appointments either via phone call or text message.
The Medical Unit asks all patients to call the appointments line on 01530 270933 if they need to make an appointment; alternatively patients can call the enquiries line on 01530 270 667 if they would like to register for online services, where patients are able to book appointments and order prescriptions online.
Before Booking a GP Appointment
Before booking an appointment with a GP, ask yourself these three questions:
Can I?
- Self-care
- Use NHS Choices or similar reputable websites/resources
- Seek advice/treatment via a pharmacist
When attempting to book an appointment to see a GP/Nurse Practitioner, you may have our receptionists ask you questions in an attempt to signpost you in the right direction to avoid any unnecessary appointment bookings.
Often patients ask for an appointment with the GP/Nurse Practitioner when sometimes another Health Care Professional or source could deal with the problem more appropriately.
Self Care Campaign
Why are we asking you to buy ‘Over the Counter’ medicines for short term treatment of minor ailments, low dose vitamin D supplements and some infant formulas? Please click here for more information.
Social Prescribing Groups
Social prescribing is a way of linking our patients with groups and sources of support within our community. It provides a non-medical option that can work alongside existing treatments to improve health and well-being. For more information on our groups please click here
Named Accountable GP
All GP practices are required to allocate a named accountable GP for each patient. If you would like to know who your allocated GP is, please ask next time you ring or visit the surgery.
The allocation of a GP does not restrict you to that Doctor or limit access to any of our services.
