Letters & emails from patients

To keep you safe and ensure we respond to everyone promptly, the practice can no longer accept unsolicited letters or emails directly from patients.


Why has this changed?

  • Safety – Letters and emails may not be seen quickly, which can delay care.

  • Fairness – Using the correct system ensures urgent cases are prioritised properly.

  • Efficiency – Requests are logged correctly and handled by the right team.


What this means for you

  • Please do not send letters or emails unless we have specifically asked you to (e.g. a form, supporting document, or a written complaint).

  • For all other queries, please use the correct routes:

📞 Call the surgery to speak to our reception team

💻 Use Engage Consult for non-urgent queries online

This ensures your request is handled safely and nothing important gets missed.


Accessibility and Support

If you have a disability or difficulty that makes it hard to contact us by phone or online, please let our reception team know. We will make reasonable adjustments to support you.
