Influenza Immunisation 2011-12

This year's influenza immunisation campaign is well underway. Further immunisation clinics are being run on Monday 7th and Monday 14th Novemeber from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. If you have not yet had your annual jab, please contact reception to make an appointment.
Immunisation is available for all people aged 65 or over and patients in 'at risk' groups. This includes ALL PREGNANT WOMEN and patients with heart disease, chronic lung disease (including asthma), diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It is also available for carers of patients in the at risk groups.


New Appointments System

Since Tuesday 24th May 2011 we have changed the way requests for ‘urgent’ or ‘on the day’ appointments are handled. This is to ensure that patients who feel they are unable to wait for a routine GP or nurse appointment are managed promptly and more efficiently

Patients requesting such appointments will be telephoned and spoken to by either the practice's doctor on call or a Practice Nurse. If appropriate, a same-day appointment will be offered for a face-to-face consultation. Patients coming to the surgery without an appointment may be asked to return home to await a telephone call from the doctor on call or a Practice Nurse, or can wait to see the duty Practice Nurse for assessment and triage

We hope this change will lead to shorter waiting times and a more effective and efficient service for patients who need urgent medical advice. We appreciate that this change may cause some inconvenience at first but we hope that you will be patient with us as we all get used to what we hope will be an overall improvement in our service to you.

Dear Patient,

patient surveyWe would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff. 

To help us with this, we are setting up a virtual patient representation group so that you can have your say. We will ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn’t take too much of your time.

We aim to gather around a hundred patients from as broad a spectrum as possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young people, workers, retirees, people with long term conditions and people from non-British ethnic groups.

If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by email please click the link below to open the sign-up form and complete all the fields.
