200 Club
It’s that time of year when the annual renewal for the 200 Club comes around. The new year begins in September. If you already pay by Standing Order your renewal will automatically go through. Thank you! Please contact Mickie Hall (mickiehall2020@gmail.com) if you are unsure.
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, drawn by Healthcare Assistant Myra Hetherington are:
First prize of £100 to Jacqui Lay (number 191)
Second prize of £15 to Miriam Saunders (number 159)
Many congratulations!
Tabletop /Book donations
Please hand in any good quality books and items for sale at the surgeries. Again, funds raised through these donations provide all the ‘extras’ needed. Thank you for your donations to both!
Harvest Tombola / Flu Clinic Saturday October 3rd
There will be the wonderful chance to win a prize (and donate to the Surgery fundraising) while attending the flu clinic on October 3rd. Sylvia will be running the Harvest Tombola from the driveway of her house opposite Purton Surgery. Please drop in and support us! If you have any unopened and in date food items to donate to the tombola you can drop them into either surgery receptions or directly to Sylvia. Many thanks.
Full details of those who are eligible for the flu vaccine can be found on the NHS website.
Autumn Information Evening
Our lovely Dr Wallis will be leading an evening on Wednesday 21st October at 7.30pm. Her topic is Women’s Health. Tickets are free but limited to 40. If you would like to join us these tickets will be available from the receptions from w/b Monday 28th September.
Please bring the ticket with you on the evening.
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.
