Upcoming Renovations.

Dear Patients, We are writing to inform you about upcoming renovation work at Medlock Medical Practice, which is due to begin very soon and is expected to last approximately 12 weeks. These renovations are part of our ongoing commitment to improve the quality of care we provide. The work will include expanding our facilities, increasing the overall space within the practice, and adding more clinical rooms. These changes will allow us to offer greater appointment availability and enhance the way we deliver care to our patients. During the renovation period, there will be some necessary changes to how we operate. We are grateful to the NHS for providing us with temporary clinical space on the ground floor in the Resource Centre. This means that while our usual premises on the second floor are being improved, you may be seen either upstairs or downstairs depending on which clinician you are seeing that day. We understand that this may cause some disruption, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. There will likely be further adjustments and challenges along the way, but please rest assured that we are doing everything we can to minimise inconvenience and ensure continuity of care. Once the renovation is complete, Medlock Medical Practice will be better equipped to meet your healthcare needs — with more space, more clinical capacity, and improved services. We will keep you informed throughout the process with regular updates. Thank you again for your continued support as we take this important step towards a better, more accessible practice for all.
