Did you know..?
In the month of March there were 110 patients who did not attend their appointments at the surgery!
To improve our services we are doing a trial of text message reminders to all our patients who have their mobile phone numbers on record and who book their appointment in advance. Should a patient no longer need their appointment, early cancellation will enable us to provide care for another patient.
To enable us to effectively trial this service we are asking all our patients to update their contact details and provide us with a mobile number. You can do this by speaking to one of the Reception team when you are next in surgery or by emailing us. worms and thrush!

EMIS Web
The Practice is having a new clinical system installed, called EMIS Web. We will be going live with this on TUESDAY 24th JULY 2012.
All our staff are currently undergoing training. However, we hope that when we do go live you will be patient and bear with us until we become familiar with the new system.
We would just like to make patients aware in advance, so that when the inital installation takes place, that we may take a little longer with our normal services for a week or so until we find our feet!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your co-operation and understanding.
Northgate Development Update
We would like to update you about the progress of our plans to potentially relocate our practice to a modern purpose-built surgery. Read all about it here.
