You may have seen recent news coverage about changes to some GP surgeries across North and West Cumbria and their decision to step back from providing certain services. This is due to increasing workload pressures and concerns on how this impacts patient access to GP services.
We want to reassure our patients that there will be no current changes to our services for:
• Blood tests
• ECGs
• Physical health monitoring for patients on specialist mental health medication
• Pre- and post-operative blood testing
• Wound care
• Blood monitoring for specialist treatments such as chemotherapy or biological therapies
We are currently working closely with NHS colleagues across the system to ensure that services are delivered in the right setting, at the right time, and in a way that best supports the health and wellbeing of our patients.
If you have any concerns or questions, please speak to a member of your practice team.
Thank you for your continued support.
