The Hollies Medical Centre
Urgent advice: Industrial Action 25 July 2025 to 30 July 2025
Please be aware, Resident Doctor’s are taking Industrial Action from 25 July 2025 to 30 July 2025 across England. Whilst we are putting in place plans and contingencies to reduce the impact that this will have on the running of the Practice, we expect to have less clinicians available to deal with your requests. This will also create a smaller amount of available appointments over this period. You may be signposted to other suitable care providers such as 111, or the Walk in Centre once we reach capacity for the day.
We are still asking that patients who can, go to the appointments page on our website and click, “Make an appointment online” to submit a request form for our clinicians to process.
To help manage workloads we will temporarily be turning off our call back feature.
We apologise for any delays.

Non-urgent advice: Current waiting times for non-urgent appointments may exceed 4-5 weeks
As the amount of workload increases throughout the country's care systems, we are dealing with an increased amount of routine / non-urgent appointment requests. As a result of this, waiting times for these appointments may exceed 4-5 weeks.
To help combat this, please make yourself aware of the most appropriate route for the care you need.
Please see the opposite video or the below website for more guidance.

Thank you for your continued support,
