your repeat prescriptions in good time, and most importantly, check whether your annual review is imminent. Please also remember that our Healthcare Professionals take their holidays at this time as well and our resources may be slightly stretched, so please make your appointments in good time and ensure they are used appropriately. SURGERY CLOSURE DAYS Please note that the surgery will close from 12.00 noon on the following days for staff training: Wednesday 19 July and Thursday 28 September. Bank Holiday - Monday 28 August - closed all day Should you need to see a doctor when the surgery is closed, please call the NHS 111 Service via the normal surgery number 821 333 where you will be transferred automatically, or you can call direct on 111 to receive non-urgent confidential health advice and information for you and your family. For urgent/life threatening cases please dial 999 as normal. MISSED APPOINTMENTS Despite a recent improvement, thank you, the figures last month sadly illustrate that sometimes our resources are not being used appropriately. Last month 50 patients did not attend their doctor’s appointment and 44 patients did not attend their nurse’s appointment, so that’s 94 valuable appointments and time wasted. Why bother making an appointment (difficult enough at times) and then not use it? Please, if you don’t need it then cancel it and if you keep forgetting then get our text reminder service. WALK FOR LIFE ACTIVITY PROGRAMME The surgery holds these events every Thursday morning at 10.30am, so why not come along and join us for a walk around the local area for about an hour, with the aim of meeting people, becoming more active and enjoying our local community. Why not also exercise your dogs at the same time and meet fellow dog walkers who have already joined the group! FRIENDS AND FAMILY SURVEY Thanks to all those patients who take part and please continue to do so. We welcome all your comments, because any feedback, good or bad, can help us improve our service to you. Last month a total of 223 patients responded with the following results extremely likely/likely - 90%; extremely unlikely/unlikely - 6%; unsure/don’t know - 4%. LIAISON GROUP MEETING If you have any issues you would like to raise at our next meeting, or require further information on any of the above, then please contact either Ken Self on 821 200 or Jeanne Lawrence on 821 049. or email kenself@me.com.
