Sidley Medical Practice has applied to close the list to new registrations and this has been approved today the 28th of September 2022. New registrations take time to process as this includes summarising new records once received and clinicians getting to know the new patients. The requested time period for the closure is 9 months during which time we will be using the freed up capacity training new staff and restructuring to ensure we continue to provide the best care possible for our registered patients.
