Staff Capacity

Posted on September 27th, 2021

Dear All

We find ourselves in an unprecedented situation within our practice team through sickness, annual leave and team members off to pastures new.  Our nursing team is running between 20% and 30% capacity throughout August and some of September.  Our admin team is running between 40% and 60%.

With this in mind please can we ask you to:

• Be mindful of any delays you may experience – as ever we continue to do our best in what seems to be increasingly trying times
• Understand that we may say you need to attend an alternative service e.g for blood tests and dressings required for hospital procedures
• Wait for any non-urgent investigation/consultation – particularly if it involves our nursing team
• Recognise that the whole team is under immense pressure and coping amazingly

Thank you for your understanding and support over the coming weeks.  We are undertaking interviews as I type and hope to have a full complement of staff in the very near future.

Thankyou

Nicola Hone, Practice Manager
