Training
Practice Accreditation
The practice was delighted to achieve maximum training practice
reaccreditation of 3 years.
Car Park
As you will no doubt have noticed, parking at the surgery, which
has never been generous, has become much more restricted since
the arrival of Giles Insurance Services. This is due to the fact
that six spaces, previously available to all visitors, have been
allocated for the exclusive use of the new tenants.
We have also become increasingly concerned that emergency
traffic, including ambulances, has been unable to gain access to
the front door and the doctors “on-call” spaces because of
inconsiderate parking in front of the door, on the roadways, and
in the entrance.
Please do not expect to be able to park at the surgery, and
instead use one of the many nearby public car parks. This will
ensure that elderly and infirm people can be dropped off and
collected at the door, emergency access can be preserved, and
the risk of accidents reduced.
The Princess
Royal Trust for Carers
The Practice has
recently established a link with the
Princess Royal Trust for Carers (PRTC) and
representatives from the PRTC will visit the practice on a weekly
basis during May to offer advice and assistance to Carers
registered with the Practice.
Practice
Satisfaction Survey
Following our Practice Satisfaction Survey, Dr Holms and Joanne
Gibson met with some patient representatives to discuss the
results. We also took the opportunity to look at ways in which
we might improve the services we provide. One of the ideas
looked at was
on-line prescriptions which we now have in place.
