Noticeboard

We are undertaking a major upgrade of our Clinical computer software. Therefore our repeat prescription service will not be available from the 11th October to 1st November 2010.  Please be sure to order your prescriptions well in advance to ensure you have sufficient medication to cover  you over this period.

Prescriptions
As well as being able to order online, you are now able to order your repeat prescription 24 hours a day 7 days a week (including bank holidays), using our automated prescription service.  Just telephone the usual prescription number and follow the prompts. You can also leave a message when the prescription line is busy instead of waiting to speak to a receptionist.  You should still allow 48-hours before collection (excluding weekends and bank holidays).

NEW PARTNER

Dr Sue Fairhead  will be joining the practice on the 1st July 2009.  Some of our diabetic patients may well remember her from the Diabetic intermediate clinic.  Dr Fairhead has special interests in Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Child Health, Obesity Management and Family Planning. 

Dr David Fielding

Special interests: General Medicine, Musculoskeletal Medicine and Gastroenterology. 

Test Results

If you need to ring the surgery to check results, please ring after 2:00pm when the telephone is less busy and the receptionist has time to find if the result is available.

In order to comply with patient confidentiality, results of tests may only be given over the telephone to the individual for whom the test has been requested.

If you wish to have a relative or representative obtain the result on your behalf, it is important for you to give written consent to the practice, preferably at the time the test is taken.
