We are currently seeing increased patient demand and this along with the upcoming Easter holidays is having an impact on our routine appointment availability. The March/April bank holidays mean there are fewer working days over a two week period and we have some staff absence over this time, so both of these issues are resulting in longer than usual wait times for routine appointments. However, please be assured that we continue to triage all appointment requests that come into the Practice to ensure patients are seen in line with their medical needs. Please could we therefore ask you to bear with us over this time.
However, we very happy to announce that we have a new GP joining the practice in May - Dr Ian Gregson. Dr Gregson joins us from a local practice and will be working 4 days a week. This will build on the existing clinical team, giving the practice more capacity to consult with patients. So please be assured that we are doing our utmost to ensure we give our patients the best possible care.
