This morning, staff at Cleevelands Medical Practice were informed that there will be a power outage in the surgery’s post code area tomorrow, Thursday 7 May 2026, between 8am and 2pm.
Unfortunately, without power, it will not be possible to provide medical services at the site during these hours. Subject to power being restored, normal services will resume at 2pm. Phone lines will remain open throughout the day for booking same-day appointments.
If you have an appointment booked at the surgery on 7 May, you will be contacted by a member of the surgery team as appropriate.
We apologise for this inconvenience and for the short notice; this situation is beyond our control. Thank you for your patience.
To request a sick note:
If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
Find out more about sick notes on the NHS website.
