Stay Informed June 2025
Message from the Practice Manager
Here comes Summer, June 20th and 21st is Summer Solstice and what lovely weather we have had so far in May, long may it continue.
We are very proud of our new electronic doors at the surgery entrance, they are proving to be a hit with all patients especially those who have physical challenges, many thanks to Queensway Trust for funding their installation.
We are proud to welcome our new GP Registrar Dr Humzah Jamil who is working with us on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, he has had great feedback from our lovely patients, many thanks for your kindness.
Our social prescribers are stopping their library sessions for the Summer if you would like any help, advice or support from them please mention this to the GP or Receptionist or call our number and leave a message on option 5 and they will contact you to arrange any assistance they can give.
Kind Regards,
Jenny
