Trent View Medical Practice will reopen tomorrow following the sudden closure of all three branches on Friday.
No reason was given at the time, prompting concern among patients, but the practice, which has branches in Keadby, Crowle and Skippingdale in Scunthorpe, has now released a statement explaining the situation.
A statement from Business Manager Michelle Simms on the practice Facebook page tonight reads: “On Friday 19 April 2024 around 1.30pm, the Practice was notified by Humberside Police that they had received intelligence of a threat to Trent View Medical Practice (TVMP).
