As part of our Active Practice accreditation, and to raise money for the amazing Thames Valley Hospice, a team of intrepid Forest Health staff, climbed Mount Snowdon overnight on Saturday night. We've raised over £10000 so far! https://t.co/bNM1bBw4OF
@jellybaby1968 Thank you Nicola. I have passed this on to Dr H, to Beau and to Fran. We are very proud of our dedicated staff and hearing lovely feedback like this is so encouraging.

Update 10:05am: our phone lines are down. Please attend surgery in person for emergency appointment requests until it is fixed. (This should be today). Use website for other queries.
@sandbags Unfortunately yes as we are very understaffed. If you are requesting an appointment you will need to stay on the line. For other queries please visit our website. Phone lines are quieter late pm.
@Vivien61983205 Hi Vivien. We think this is due to the IT merge that happened this week. Can you pop in (to any site) and we’ll issue you some new passwords and/or try to sort it somehow. All the GB records have been migrated to the new bigger surgery account and there have been some glitches.
