4. PRESSURES
Across the UK, the NHS is experiencing very high levels of demand.
This seems particularly true in Herefordshire where the Hospital is currently very short of beds.
This practice is trying very hard to help meet this demand. Please be patient: we are working longer hours to give as much time as possible to high numbers of ill patients.

5. How can you help?

7. GP Vacancies
We have one unfilled GP vacancy since Dr Cottrell was promoted to a new job in South Wales.
We have hired locums to help us in the meantime.
We are trying hard to recruit another GP but the post is still vacant.
In the UK, 7.9% of GP vacancies* remain unfilled, twice as many as last year. We are told this is a national problem, but are keen to do our best to find another GP. *Pulse Magazine March 2013
