Please note we have changed our Phone Number back to a local

have made the change. For your convenience you can still use the
old number but we will be phasing this out in a couple of months so
please make a note of the new one in your phone book.
We are updating and improving our

Appointment Booking System by changing to

Our Go Live Day is 7 December 2012. We all
have to learn to use the new system and so
some things may take a little longer than
usual. We hope you will be patient with us
while we get up to speed.
November 2012 is Antibiotic Awareness Month - You can pick up a
leaflet in Practice called Get Well Soon Without Antibiotics to find
out more.
Key points to remember:
Antibiotics are important medicines and should only be taken when prescribed by
a healthcare professional. They should be the right drug at the right dose, and at
the right time, and taken for the right duration
Antibiotics can upset the natural balance of bacteria in your body. This allows
other more harmful bacteria to increase and may result in diarrhoea and thrush.
Antibiotic resistant bacteria don’t just infect you, they can spread to other people
in close contact with you.
Further information can be found on www.nhs.uk/antibiotics
There is now an extra parking place available on the right
hand side of the Surgery
The practice are planning to carry out some refurbishment soon of: Seating,
Flooring and Sinks etc. The plans are not yet finalised but watch this space….
