From inside the community Mill Road Surgery Happy New Year to you all! We hope you all had a great festive period. As you will continue to read and hear in the news, the NHS is under immense pressure at the moment, so the winter period leading into the spring continues to be a challenging period for us, especially with large numbers of Covid, flu and Strep A. Despite these challenges we are continuing to try and offer our patients the most efficient and professional service we can. In the meantime, please try and bear with us, we know it’s frustrating to be on hold on the phone but we will get to you! Just to confirm, our nursing staff are not striking during the periods of industrial action, so are here as normal to support your health and continue to offer services as normal. Therefore, if you have reviews booked with them please try and keep the appointment so we can complete as many as possible. As we head towards springtime, (and hopefully a warm one), make sure those of you that may be affected by hay fever are fully stocked with relievers from your local pharmacy for when the pollen rises, as pharmacies are best placed to help with your symptoms. Lastly we get a lot of questions from parents about when their child can return to school following illness so the poster on the opposite page may be of use. Bring on the warmer weather!
