The minutes of the most recent meeting of our Patient Group are now on our website here.
New members are very welcome to join our Patient Group. Whatever your age or experience your views on the practice from a patient perspective are valuable to us. The group meets regularly (usually quarterly) for an hour or so on Friday mornings. If interested, please see our Patient Participation Group page and contact us.
The Somerset Green Bag Scheme has been relaunched. This is to help patients who may be admitted to hospital to take all their medications in one clearly identifiable bag which can then travel with you while in hospital, and helps the medical team to know what medications you are taking during admission.
For more details please visit our Green Bag Scheme page.
The NHS Somerset MSK app is now available to our Bruton patients. It is a FREE, easy-to-use tool helping you to self-manage your muscle, bone and joint (MSK) injuries and conditions.
Patients can self-refer to the app, and use this either instead of or as well as an appointment at the practice.
To access the App, please click here: GetUBetter Bruton
For more information, please see our GetUBetter page.
