STAFF SHORTAGES -UPCOMING CLOSURES

 We are currently affected by staff absence due to sickness. We are working hard to ensure we still provide  best care possible to our patients, however on occasion we have to re-arrange some of pre-booked clinics and we will contact all affected patients. 

Unfortunately, on some occasions we have to take the difficult decision to close our branch surgeries and the following sites will be affected: 

 

KIRK HALLAM SURGERY - FRIDAY 23rd MAY  CLOSED PM 

 

During these closures you can still contact us at the Old Station Surgery. 

We apologise  for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding. 

 

Information:

The call I just took

Receptionists are not ‘just admin’ — they are patient advocates, navigating complex systems to get people the care they need. They are the gateway to the clinical team, and without them, there is no access.

But constant abuse is pushing them to breaking point. Burnout is rising, and we are losing skilled staff who can no longer absorb the emotional toll. This campaign is a call for compassion — because protecting our reception teams protects access to care. You don't know what happened on the call they just took..

With thanks to ‪@pvs_media‬

 Current demand continues to exeed capacity.

We are under extreme pressure due to a combination of high demand, staff sickness, unfilled vacancies, and lack of GP locum availability.

Please consider how to access the appropriate help.

If we are full for the day you can still use Get medical help - NHS 111  or call 111 and you will be assessed on the basis of clinical need and urgency.

You can also access your local treatment centre through 111 Urgent care services - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Your local pharmacy can help you with advice and minor ailments. Find a pharmacy - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
