This is taken directly from the Medical Centre website:
“We are now using Accurx Chain which is a system that allows us to easily send text messages to patients. It means we can be much more proactive about some communications, messaging you quickly and securely, so you are not waiting around to hear from us!
The practice name will always be at the bottom of the message. You won’t be able to reply them. Please help us to help you by keeping your number up to date. If you don’t want us to contact you in this way please let us know.”

Shropshire Council has developed a timetable of activities to help make the summer holidays fun for all the family.
The programme offers a mixture of face-to-face participation and self-led sessions for children and families to enjoy together – all in line with social distancing guidance.
There is involvement from Severn Valley Country Park, Shropshire Libraries, Junior Wild Teams and other council service areas. For more information click here to visit the Shropshire Council website – a full list of activities is due to be added on Monday, 20 July.
Meanwhile Shropshire Family Information Service also has information on other summer holiday activities from some of the wonderful family attractions opening back up throughout Shropshire. This can be accessed via their free online directory of summer holiday fun.
For some families, who may need full-time care at a registered childcare provider, a holiday play scheme or an out of school club, Shropshire Family Information Service also has a full list of registered childcare providers. For information parents can call telephone 01743 254400 or email ShropshireFIS@shropshire.gov.uk
Shropshire Libraries are inviting children across the county to sign-up for a seriously silly summer with this year’s Summer Reading Challenge.
The Summer Reading Challenge is aimed at primary school aged children and encourages them to keep reading over the summer holidays.
This year the theme is Silly Squad and is all about funny books, happiness and having a laugh with characters created by award-winning children’s author and illustrator, Laura Ellen Anderson.
The Challenge this year has moved online and, as always, it is free to sign up.
Participants will need the email address and permission of a parent or carer to register and set up their reading profile. Once they have done this, it’s time to get reading!
Children can set their own reading goal, rate and review their books and unlock activities and rewards as they progress. When their reading goal is reached they can download and print a certificate.
The website also features video content, games, quizzes, digital and downloadable activities to get children excited about taking part in the Challenge at home.
The Silly Squad Summer Reading Challenge runs until 12 September 2020 and was created by the Reading Agency.
Shropshire Libraries are running a limited service from their buildings but there are lots of services you can access from home. To find silly books or magazines to read take a look at their e-library. You can also order and collect up to 10 books per person from your library through their free Ready Reads Collect service.
Any questions? Contact at libraries@shropshire.gov.uk or visit the Shropshire Libraries website https://shropshire.gov.uk/libraries/
Parents and Carers can also rise to the challenge by joining Shropshire Summer Reads. Registering for the challenge is easy – just visit Shropshire Libraries’ website to find a simple joining form. Completed entries will be entered in a prize draw for book vouchers, kindly funded by library Friends groups and redeemable at independent book shops across Shropshire.
Tree work is being undertaken between the Tern Hill and Adderley roundabouts (precise location isn’t given).
There will be two-way traffic signals and delays are likely.
