UPDATE ON OUR GPs
Dr Pears now works part-time.
DUTY DOCTOR SYSTEM: Slots are for "urgent" problems when no other Doctor is available, and for only ONE problem. A DUTY NURSE is now available to deal with minor or routine problems such as - Family Planning, Sexual Health, Repeat medication, Blood Pressure checks for medication reviews, Minor Injuries, Wound Infections and other minor ailments BUT NOT blood tests. APPOINTMENTS
We have a mixture of pre-bookable and book on the day appointments. If you want to make an appointment, decide when you want to come and ring up on that day. Otherwise you can book an appointment up to 2 weeks ahead. If we are unable to offer you an appointment over the next 2 weeks, then we prefer to offer you a consultation today rather than ask you to ring back. MINOR AILMENTS SCHEME
Dont forget that if you have a "minor ailment" and dont pay for prescriptions, you can go and see the pharmacist at the local chemist. Pharmacists are highly qualified and are more than capable of dealing with "minor ailments"
Even if you do pay for your prescriptions, go and get some advice from your local Chemist before you make an appointment with the Doctor.
MINOR INJURIES
We offer a minor injury service to our registered patients and patients who are unable to get to their own Doctors
If you have suffered an injury within 48hrs like a laceration, or a burn, or something which is not amenable to simple domestic first aid, but not severe enough to go to A & E, we can treat you at our Practice. Come to Reception and tell the Staff you need to see a Nurse urgently.
PHONING WHEN SURGERY IS CLOSED When the Practice is closed, the phone system can divert you automatically to the out-of-hours service UC24
TRANSPORT
We are no longer able to book hospital transport.
If you require transport to a Warwickshire hospital, ring 01926 885071. For transport to other hospitals, please ring the hospital concerned.
PATIENT SURVEY We are obliged by the Department of Health to ask our patients to complete a patient survey questionnaire. When you are handed one of these surveys, please take the time to fill it in and return it to Reception.
PATIENTS PARTICIPATION GROUP Details of the Group members, together with minutes of the last 2 meetings are on a noticeboard in the waiting room.
