200 Club
Thank you to everyone who has already completed their payment for the new year of the 200 Club which began in September. Please don’t worry if you have not joined yet as new members to the 200 Club are always very welcome. It’s never too late to join!
It costs just £15 a year, paid by standing order. Every month, we award two prizes—one of £100 and another of £15. All surplus goes toward buying equipment for the surgeries that the NHS does not supply. Please enquire at either surgery reception if you wish to join.
Our latest lucky winners have been notified. The numbers were drawn by our Care Co-ordinator, Teresa Philpott and are:
First prize of £100 to winning number 136
Second prize of £15 to number 16
Many congratulations!
Tabletop /Book donations
At this point we have sufficient donations of books, so if you have any please donate them to the other worthy local causes. However, we do need good quality items that might make the perfect Christmas gift for someone. Should you have anything for the table please hand it to reception at either surgery. Again, funds raised through these donations provide all the ‘extras’ needed. We thank you for your contributions.
Harvest Tombola / Flu Clinic Saturday October 3rd
Our thanks go to everyone who made the Harvest Tombola that was attached to the ‘flu clinic Saturday in October such a success. Special applause to Sylvia and Colin Freemantle for organising and hosting it. The total amount raised will be announced in the next newsletter. All proceeds will go towards items requested by the medical staff.
A quick reminder
Patients can view their blood test results on their NHS app.
Appointments for blood tests and nurse appointments for things such as injections/vaccinations/ suture removal etc can be booked up to 6 weeks in advance.
Only GP appointments are available to book from Thursdays for the following week.
Repeat prescription slips may still be requested from the pharmacy when collecting your prescriptions. These may not automatically be given so please ask if you would rather continue to do this. Alternatively, you can order your repeats online. Again, full information is available on the NHS website.
Thank you. As always, your support is much appreciated.
