Stay healthy this winter 
It may be cold outside, but winter needn't be the unhealthiest time of year for you and your family.
5 ways to stay healthy and fit even when your body is telling you to hibernate:
* Banish winter tiredness - get outdoors in natural daylight, get a good night's sleep, destress with exercise and/or meditation
* Eat more fruit and veg
* Drink more milk
* Try new activities for the whole family
* Have a hearty breakfast

A new way forward... 
Earlier in 2019 we adopted new principles for our appointment system to ensure that we continue to provide you with the best possible care in the face of ever-changing demands placed on General Practice.
Making appointments - the new principles:
Do you have an URGENT problem? | We will see you or contact you on the same day, but this might not be with the person of your choice. |
Want to see a specific doctor? | You can pre-book with that doctor, however it may be several days before that doctor is available. |
Minor or self-limiting illness? | You will be directed to seek healthcare advice from other sources e.g. pharmacists, minor injury centres or online via NHS Choices. |
Home visits | These are reserved for truly housebound and terminally ill patients. |
Our GPs will have a set number of face-to-face and telephone appointments available each day. Once full, calls will go to the duty team for triaging. |
See our page 'A new way forward - Part 2' for a detailed letter from Dr Matt Bull and more information about these principles.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY TEST
From the 1st December 2014 all GP practices are required to ask patients the Friends & Family test questions that will be monitored by NHS England on a monthly basis. The two questions are as follows:
How likely are you to recommend our GP Surgery to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?
Can you tell us why you gave that response?
Please let us know how we are doing and answer these questions by clicking on the 'Have Your Say - Friends & Family Survey' tab at the right of the page.
For urgent care when the Surgery is closed, please dial 111 to speak to NHS 111. If your call is an emergency, please call 999.

NHS England requires that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the Practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below. However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the Practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other Practice.
The average pay for GPs working in The Three Spires Medical Practice in the last financial year was £65,457 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 8 GPs and 4 GP assistants who worked in the Practice for more than six months.
