‼ Important information for our patients – NHS GP registration checks ‼

The NHS is currently checking GP practice lists across England to make sure patients are registered with the correct surgery and that contact details are up to date. This is called a “list cleansing” or “list validation” exercise.

If the NHS contacts you by letter, text or email asking you to confirm your details, please respond as soon as possible. If you do not respond, there is a risk that you could eventually be removed from our practice list, even if you still live locally and wish to remain registered with us.

Please also make sure we have your current address and contact details, particularly if you have recently moved.

If you believe you have been removed from our practice list by mistake, please contact the surgery and we will help you with re-registration.

Thank you for helping us keep your NHS registration details accurate.

This September, Awburn House Medical Practice is sharing a daily “Mental Health Toolkit” in the lead-up to World Su***de Prevention Day on 10 September. Each day, we’ll post one simple, practical technique that may help with anxiety, stress, worries and feeling overwhelmed. These are small tools you can try in everyday life — from focusing on what you can control, to setting aside worry time, grounding yourself in the present, challenging unhelpful thoughts and knowing when to reach out for support. We hope these posts are useful, easy to try and help start more conversations about mental wellbeing. 💚
One small thing to try today can make a difference.

After our second month of using online triage, we asked for your feedback. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts.
We have carefully reviewed all comments and concerns raised. The most common concern was that the online form may not be easy for some elderly patients or those who are less confident with technology to complete.
We would like to reassure patients that we have always recognised that not everyone is able to use online services. If you are unable to complete the online triage form yourself, you can still contact the surgery by telephone. Our reception team will be happy to assist you in completing the form, ensuring you can access the care and support you need.
Thank you for your continued feedback as we work to improve our services for all patients
