2021 a challenging year for the Hadleigh Boxford Group Practice The past year was a challenging time for all of us at Hadleigh Boxford Group Practice but the whole team have pulled together in these difficult times, and we have been so well supported by the community and our PPG. You will all be aware of the Covid clinics that have been the stand-out achievement and a massive 24,000 Covid vaccines have been delivered in the surgery, and more recently St Mary’s Church. In addition to this are the hundreds of vaccines delivered by our team of mobile jabbers to the residence and staff at the four care homes we look after and the numerous house-bound patients too. Many of those delivering the vaccines are our retired nurses and doctors, and we are indebted to them for their incredible support. None of the vaccination clinics would have been the huge success they were without the army of PPG volunteers that have been out in force come rain, gales and even snow! They have worked so hard to support us and the community and we are extremely grateful to every single volunteer. It has been a herculean effort from everyone at the surgery that, despite all the Covid disruption, the Covid vaccinations, the isolations, and lockdowns we have also delivered nearly 5,000 flu vaccines and remained open seeing patients throughout the pandemic. We are all aware that the demand on GP surgeries in England has steadily climbed over these last 12 months and we have felt it here too. We have worked tirelessly to do our best to meet this demand including adapting our working pattern, incorporating more technology to support us in delivering care and recruited 12 new people to our team. Although we have sadly had to say goodbye to some staff that have left, we have grown in numbers at the surgery. We are proud to have 3 more receptionists, extra secretarial and data team personnel, as well as an additional doctor and nurse. Our hope for 2022 is to continue to provide high quality care, while being responsive to the shifting landscape of the NHS. We will remain approachable and accessible to all our patients, and above all, our hope is to have Covid gone! We wish you all a very happy and healthy 2022
