We’re seeing an increase in respiratory illnesses at the moment. Many of these illnesses, like bronchiolitis are caused by a virus called respiratory syncytial virus or RSV. Most cases are mild and clear up within 2 to 3 weeks without the need for treatment. But we know it’s a worry if your child is unwell so please use this guide to help care for them. If in doubt contact NHS 111.

Please be aware that Dr Branfoot underwent a heart operation last week and will now be taking some time out of the Practice for the next 6-months to recover.

Dr Branfoot wanted to keep all of her patients up to date with what was happening in case you wondered where she was.

From all of the staff and patients here at Temple House Practice we send our very best wishes to Dr Branfoot.

Please take the time to read the information below from the British Medical Association highlighting why we need your support:

• Why are GPs needing to work differently?
• Support your surgery so it can be there to support you
