We are delighted to welcome a new addition to our team, Dr Helen McLeish. She joined the practice on the 2nd September; and will be working full time.
We would like to congratulate Dr Calabro on his recent Marriage to Vicky and Dr Cooke who was also recently married to Julie.
Dr Bruggink's sons Samuel Johannes and Joseph Willem now 7 months old, were both christened on Sunday 25th August at St Augustine's Church. Joseph slept through the whole ceremony. The weather was lovely and all had a good day.
The Practice is committed to increasing supervision of Heart Disease and Heart Disease prevention. This has been advised by the Government who have set up national service frameworks, which
give us guidance and guidelines of work we have to do. This involves a lot of work for the doctors and nurses but we are keen to reduce Heart Disease in the
area and you will notice that we are now trying to do more blood pressure checks and advise on smoking.
The flu campaign is upon us again, the clinic will start on the 18th September and appointments can be made now at reception.
For Test Results please ring between 2-4.30 pm.
For a Repeat Prescription please ring 749562 between 10-11amd & 2-3.30 pm.
To cancel an appointment please ring 749705
We would like to take this opportunity to apologise to all patients who are kept waiting for any length of time. Unfortunately some patient's needs are greater than others and sometimes this is unavoidable. Patients who find that they arrive more than 10/15 minutes late for their appointment may find they cannot be seen, and will be required to re-arrange their appointment for another day and time.
We are currently looking at our appointment system to see if we can improve our service to you. More information will be available shortly.
As ever everybody is booking up holidays and we wish you all an enjoyable holiday.
Unfortunately due to pressure on nurse appointments we have been unable to satisfy the demands for vaccinations. We would advise you contact other centers, such as the British Airways Clinic to arrange your vaccinations.
