Wyke Regis Surgery reassures patients after online speculation
Rumours have been circulating about the surgery's future
A Dorset GP practice is reassuring patients that they're not closing, after rumours circulated online.
Wyke Regis Surgery say the speculation on socials is causing 'anxiety amongst patients and staff', when it's inaccurate.
They've also said they're 'committed to providing a service' as well as working to 'recruit more staff in the future'.
In a statement, Practice Manager at the Portland Road site, Ann Klust said:
“In recent days we have had patients approaching us asking if the surgery is closing as they have seen information circulating suggesting this is the case.
“We can categorically say this is not the case and would ask anyone fuelling this speculation by sharing posts to stop as it is causing some anxiety amongst patients and staff at a time when we are already under huge pressure.
“The partners here at Wyke Surgery would like to thank all registered patients for their continued support and understanding during this time when we have been operating with reduced GP workforce. All staff continue to remain committed to providing a service at the surgery and to being able to recruit more staff in the future.
“We would ask anyone who has any questions about the practice to approach a member of the team in the first instance.”
