New PPE and Support from our Patients - Thank you, Everyone!

Selsey Medical Practice has been overwhelmed by the kindness and support we have been shown by our patients and community during these challenging times.

We are having to work in a very different way at the moment, which is challenging for everyone, but your messages of support and the wonderfully colourful pictures and cards from local children have helped to keep morale up in the practice.

We have received delicious food packages from local businesses and some beautifully made scrubs which have been sewn for our GP’s to wear. We also have 30 vital PPE face shields, cleverly made on someone’s 3D printer, for which we are extremely grateful for as we had none.
