New PPG micro-site now live
SurgeryPod - We are currently trialling this device in the Patient Information Room. Itis acomputer directly linked to your records, and allows you to enter data such as smoking and BP, as well as complete assessments for depression, alcohol consumption etc. We hope this will prove popular allowing more time to be freed up for those who need it with the doctors and nurses.
Flu Clinics - We have been very proactive with the flu clinics and have now given more jabs earlier than ever before, thankyou for your help. We have virtually run out of jabs but can try and obtain extra jabs for a short while if you ring in specifically
vPPG - We are looking to recruit a number of patients to join our Patient Participation Group. You have two options, either to become a "full" member, or to join the virtual PPG, an online mailing list contributing comments. Please contact the PPG directly or ring and speak to Wendy in Reception
