Nurse Lucy Takes on the Ultimate Race
Hi, I’m Lucy, a practice nurse at Brannam Medical Centre, I’ve been running for 8 years and I have been training for a huge challenge..... the Westcountry Ultra 100 miler organised by
Albion Running.
Winter training has been tough, but it’s nothing compared to what others face. That’s why I've decided to raise some money for the two incredible local charities that Brannam’s have decided to support this year -
ChemoHero and
Little Willow's Wish Charity.
If you are able to sponsor me, no matter how small I would be incredibly grateful. It will be hugely appreciated by the charities and may just spur me on to keep putting one foot in front of the other when the going gets tough.

Renovation Works Complete
After three months of renovation work, we're delighted to share that the improvements to our practice are now complete.
We now have a welcoming new reception area, along with a dedicated, fit for purpose admin room where our reception team can handle calls and carry out administrative work more efficiently. Our waiting areas have also been updated. We now have a new Waiting Area A and what was previously Waiting Room B has been converted into a clinical room. As a result, Waiting Room C has been renamed Waiting Room B.
In addition, we’ve introduced a brand new, purpose built minor operations/clinical room. Our treatment area has been significantly enhanced and now consists of five fully compliant, functional clinical rooms. We have also added a new consulting room, which will support our ongoing commitment to education and provide space for medical students and registrars.
We would like to sincerely thank all our patients and staff for their patience and understanding throughout the renovation period. It has been a significant project, and we truly believe the results have made it worthwhile.

Nurse Desri Retires
We are very, very sad to see our truly wonderful Nurse Desri begin her retirement today 😢
Desri has been an invaluable member of Brannam Medical Centre for over 35 years. Quite simply, what she doesn’t know about nursing isn’t worth knowing.
Desri has been an inspiration, supporter and fantastic role model for many a staff who have walked through the doors of Brannams. She will be greatly missed, not only for her endless clinical knowledge, but also as a wonderful friend to us all.
It was fantastic to see so many faces from Brannam past take time to come along to wish Desri a send off she wont' forget.
We wish Desri an amazing and well-deserved retirement… and we hope she doesn’t miss us too much! 😁

Anti-Social Behaviour
Last week, staff at Brannam Medical Centre had to call the Police 3 times to help deal with anti social behaviour either at or next to our premises.
Anti-social behaviour puts our staff and patients at risk and wastes precious time that could be used to support patients.
We remain committed to trying to make visits to our surgery as comfortable as possible, and we will continue to contact the authorities as required.
Thank you for your understanding.

Can we kindly ask everyone coming into the Surgery or to LLoyds Pharmacy to please use the car park at Belle Meadow (next to surgery).
