STOP PRESS ....... COMPUTER SOFTWARE SYSTEM CHANGE.
We will be changing our clinical software system on Tuesday 28th May 2013. Planning and training has been ongoing over the last few months and we hope to minimise inconvenience to our patients. As with all new things we will need time to adjust to the new system and we would ask that you are patient with us if we appear to be taking more time than usual around 28th May.
Please note that our On-Line Prescription and Appointment service will be suspended from 9.30am on 22nd May 2013. Please ensure that you have put all repeat prescription requests on the system by this time as we will be unable to issue repeat prescriptions on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th May. Our new system will be on line from Tuesday 28th May 2013. Further details of how to obtain your new On-Line system log in will follow soon on this web site.
We thank you in advance for your support and patience during this major system change.
Whooping Cough Immunisaton for Pregnant Women
The Department of Health have launched a Whooping Cough Vaccination campain for pregnant women between the 28th and 38th week of pregnancy. We are carrying out this vaccination programme for our patients. Should you fall into this category, please contact reception, who will make you an appropriate appointment with our nurses. You can have this vaccination at the same time as the flu vaccination. Should you have any queries regarding the immunisation, please contact either your midwife or the surgery.
Patient Reference Group (PRG) - Your Opinion Counts!
The Practice has decided to form a 'Virtual' Patient Group (email group) so that we can ask your opinion without taking too much of your time. The plan would be to email you every few months, with requests for your opinion on various things. This would usually take the form of an on-line survey, which would only take about 5 minutes to complete. We would really appraciate it if you would join this group and ask that you let the reception team know that you wish to join when you next visit us or just give us a call to let us know. You will then hear from us with our first survey. Thank you for your support on this initiative.
