We are welcoming new patient

Thorndike surgery and Primary Care nationwide is under severe pressure at this time.

 

We have been receiving an unprecedented demand over the last year, requests for appointments has increased by 100% and a 3 fold increase in calls to the surgery.

 

Our patient list size is the lowest it has been for a long while and as we are not considered to be at capacity, we have to abide by the rules of NHS England and promote that our list is open.

 

We have returned to normal duties and offering face to face appointments where clinically required. Please note although we have increased our GP numbers we currently have several on long term sick.

 

We thank you for your patience at this very difficult time.
