Important: Enable your NHS App notifications

We increasingly use the NHS App to send important information such as updates about your care or treatment, appointment information and reminders, and responses to queries or advice requests.

The NHS App is designed to notify you when a new message arrives, but you will only receive these alerts if notifications are enabled on your device. For instructions on how enable these, please click here.

Without notifications switched on, you may not realise that a message has been sent to you unless you open the app and check manually.

Social prescriber

Sarah Hannigan

Veniece Sardison

We are delighted to announce that our Social Prescribers, Sarah Hannigan and Veniece Sardison, are now up and running.

Social Prescribing can support you with managing your stress, loneliness, finding social groups, learning new skills, physical activity or getting information on employment, benefits, housing and legal advice.

Referrals to see her are primarily made via our GPs but if you feel you would benefit from seeing her, please speak to reception who will be able to organise an appointment for you.

The social prescribing service supports you to take control of your own health, make positive lifestyles changes and decide what you would like to do to feel healthier.

The service is here to listen to you and connect you with opportunities in the community that might help you to feel better. This could include supporting you with things like managing your stress, loneliness, finding social groups, learning new skills, physical activity or getting information on employment, benefits, housing and legal advice.

If you are 18 or over, you can ask your clinician to refer you to this service.
