Dr Dunn will be retiring from the practice at the end of April.
We have a new doctor, Dr Sahota starting work in May.
We are attempting to recruit more medical staff to improve access to appointments.
Pharmacy
A pharmacy is being constructed within the surgery over the next two-three weeks. We apologise for any noise / disruption. Some appointments may be moved to other rooms or branch surgeries during this time.
Branch opening times
The telephone lines at the branch surgeries will open at 0800 from May 2012.
Wednesday 28th March, 2012
The surgery will be closed on Wednesday afternoon for staff training (unless you have a nurse appointment pre-arranged). For urgent medical problems during this time please ring 0844 477 1759, or NHS direct on 0845 4647. The surgery will re-open at 08.00 on Thursday.
Online booking / prescriptions
We are now enabling some doctor appointment booking online – up to three weeks in advance and some on the day. The same site can be used to order repeat prescriptions.
To use the service you will need to register for a username/password at reception.
Patient Participation Group
The group has recently surveyed patients. The results are here.
New Year 2012
The main surgery will close at 6.30pm on Friday the 30th of December and re-open on Tuesday the 3rd of January at 8.00 am.
Please ring 0845 4647 for nurse led NHS Direct advice or 0844 477 1759 to contact the out of hours GP service during this period.
New computer system
We are currently moving to a new medical records system. We hope that in due course this will lead to improvements in our service. During this time, we will have fewer pre-bookable appointments due to the need for intensive staff training.
Retirement
Dr Ward retired on the 10th November 2011.
