WEDNESDAY SURGERY
Please note that with effect from November the practice will NO LONGER have a surgery on a Wednesday afternoon. This is to allow the doctors time to attend all the meetings and training events that they have to. However, there will be a evening surgery between 6:00 and 8:00pm with two doctors available to ensure that have access to medical care when needed. During these Wednesday afternoons, the surgery will be open for face to face access with reception and administrative staff and the telephones will be answered. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope that you will support your practice.
CHANGES TO YOUR ADDRESS
If you have recently moved or changed your contact number it is important that you let us know. In the future we are hoping to install a system whereby we can send text reminders for appointments and it would be very useful if you could supply us with your mobile contact number as well.
MEDICATION CHANGES
As you are probably aware, there is a lot going on in the NHS at the moment, with a great deal of change still to come over the next couple of years. At present all GP surgeries are being asked to make changes to some of the medication that we prescribe. This may be because the drug is no longer licensed; clinically proven that an alternative is better or carries a much higher risk of medical complications.
Therefore you may find that something you have been taking for a while is either being changed to an alternative drug or no longer available on prescription – which would mean you would have to purchase it from your local pharmacy.
We aim to offer the best possible service to our patients with the highest clinical care and would ask that you support us through these difficult and changing times.
If you wish to discuss the matter please feel free to contact Lynne Marsh, Practice Manager.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ
If you have been invited for any Health Checks recently and have not yet attended, your repeat medications related to that check may not be re-issued. If you have been invited please book your check now!
SELF REFERRAL TO PHYSIOTHERAPY
The way to get an appointment to see a physiotherapist has changed. This means you do not have to visit your GP first. Physiotherapy can be particularly beneficial if you are suffering from: Low back pain, neck pain, recent injuries, strains and sprains, joint and muscle pain.
