Dear Patient,

You may have seen recent news reports about GP contracts, underfunding and appointment availability being reduced. We understand that this may cause concern to our patients

We want to reassure you that we are committed to maintaining our current appointment capacity. Our priority is to continue providing high-quality healthcare to all our patients.

You can continue to access our services in the same way as you always have. We prioritise your health and wellbeing and will always do our best to meet your needs.

We do support the BMA’s concerns about the funding of general practice. The BMA, which represents doctors, has highlighted that GP surgeries have been underfunded for many years. This has led to challenges in hiring staff, buying necessary equipment, and providing the level of care we would like to. Despite these difficulties, we are committed to providing you with the best possible care.

We want to reiterate that there will be no changes to our current service provision and we will not be reducing any appointment capacity at the practice.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Best regards, 

Dr Nicola Turner, Dr Katherine Yeomans, Ruth Franklin, Dr Jasraj Panesar
