IMPORTANT - Scam Caller

Recently a local GP practice had a scam call to a patient pretending to be a medical professional who worked alongside the practice in question asking for bank details to proceed with payment for ‘medication’. The number of the caller was 01900 516 559, a number that has been previously associated with fraudsters for vehicle accident insurance call scams.
If you receive a call from this number, please let us know. Thank you.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week

This week is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week! AMR happens when bacteria, viruses etc. evolve to resist the medicines that treat them. This makes infections harder to cure, putting lives at risk.

Here’s how we can all help fight AMR:

  • Use antibiotics responsibly: Only take them when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
  • Complete your full treatment course: Even if you feel better, finish the entire prescription.
  • Prevent infections: Practice good hygiene, get vaccinated, and avoid sharing medications.

Let’s work together to protect the effectiveness of these essential medicines. Join us in raising awareness and taking action against antimicrobial resistance!
