NOTICE BOARD


 

We are now offering pandemic (swine) flu vaccinations to all children between 6 months and 5 years, all patients in clinical at-risk groups, pregnant women and household contacts of immuno-compromised individuals.  However, please note that vaccinations for children under 5 will cease with effect from 31st March.  Please contact the surgery to make an appointment. 

We were delighted with the results of the latest patient survey, which gave us an overall satisfaction rating of 97% for the service we provide to patients.

We are introducing a new service to patients, enabling you to request your repeat prescription and obtain your repeat medications without even having to leave home.  A company called Pharmacy 2 U will remind you either by e-mail or telephone before your medications run out.  Alternatively, you can call them or order on line.  They will then request your prescription from the surgery, dispense your medications and deliver them to your home or work.  It's a very simple, time-saving process.  Please contact the surgery for a registration form, or call Pharmacy 2 U on 0845 803 9033 or visit www.pharmacy2u.co.uk/register.  Please note that the service can only be used for repeat prescriptions, not acute or urgent prescriptions.

We are now offering vaccinations to all female patients born between 1st September 1990 and 31st August 1993 to protect them against certain strains of the virus which can cause cervical cancer.  Please contact the surgery for further information.

Repeat prescriptions will be ready after 5pm the following day.

We are always grateful for donations of old magazines, for patients to read whilst waiting for their appointment.  If you have any magazines that you would like to donate, please hand them in to reception - please don't leave them in the waiting room.  This helps us to ensure that only suitable material is made available, and to keep the waiting room area tidy.  Thank you.

 You are now able to book routine appointments and order repeat prescriptions via the Internet.  Please contact the surgery to register for this service.
