Temporary Pause on Routine Appointments to Enhance Access to Care

We would like to inform our valued patients that, to better meet the high demand for services, our practice will be temporarily pausing routine appointment bookings to enable us to make changes to our appointment system. The changes will improve access to GP appointments and ensure a smoother experience for all our patients moving forward. Requests to book routine appointments can be submitted again from 7th April 2025.

We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to enhance the quality of care we provide.

Requests for urgent on the day appointments will not be affected. Therefore, if you have any urgent medical concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us through Anima or by calling us at 01453 764222. We’re here to help!

Thank you for your cooperation while we make this change.

If you have a booked appointment before the 7th April – please be reassured this will not change.

Sick (fit) notes

If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days

To request a sick note:

If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less

If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.

Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
