SURGERY CLOSURES

Young Carers Action Day - Wednesday 12th March 2025

#YoungCarersActionDay 2025 theme this year is 'Give Me A Break'. A young carer is someone under the age of 18 who looks after or helps to look after someone. It might be their mum or dad, grandparent, brother or sister or a close relative. 

Young carers have so much responsibility on their shoulders that they often have little time for themselves and are at serious risk of burnout. They need a break. They need time out from their caring responsibilities to rest, recharge and focus on themselves – be it for a hobby, or just spending time with friends, like other people their age.

If you are a young carer, it is important that you let the surgery know so that we can understand the challenges you face and help you find the support you need. Give us a call on 01258 880210 or please send an email to miltonabbassurgery@nhs.net for the attention of Kelly.

Remember, you are not alone in this - it’s okay to ask for help.

Surgery Staff

We would like to warmly welcome Mandy, our new Health Care Assistant, to the surgery Nursing Team. Mandy has come from the Southern Health Heart Failure Team and has lots of experience, so we are lucky to have her.

We are also very pleased to welcome back Alice in Dispensary from maternity leave!

We would like to extend our thanks to both our Nursing and Dispensary Teams for their dedicated efforts in covering gaps within their teams. Your hard work has been invaluable. We also want to express our gratitude to our patients, for your patience and understanding over the past few months.

Using the Right Service

eConsults

Please can we ask that from now onwards, rather than use the surgery email address for clinical or medication queries, you complete an eConsult form online as the GP’s no longer take questions via email. This would also include requests for sick notes.

To access the eConsult service please click on the ‘Complete an eConsult’ button on the front page of our surgery website www.masurgery.co.uk. You can also submit an eConsult from the NHS app.

For more details on how to use eConsult please click here https://econsult.net/nhs-patients/how-to-use-econsult

This will help with efficiency and the GP workload. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
