Blood Pressure Machine for the waiting room

We are pleased to be able to tell you that the PPG recently purchased a new blood pressure machine for Green Gable Surgery waiting room, giving patients the same benefit as those attending Purton Surgery.

 

A Message from Kai Howard, Practice Manager

Thank you to all the patients who kindly bought GreenSteam’s CD, from reception, in the run up to Christmas.

Some of you will remember GreenSteam from the 60's/70's.  In their heyday they supported the likes of Status Quo and Slade and were well known on the on the local and Swindon gig circuits 

All proceeds from their recent gig and the £40 from the sales of their CDs at the surgery have been handed over to Prospect.

 

AGM

Our AGM is planned for Thursday 6 March at 6.30pm in Purton Surgery. If you, as a patient of the Practice, plan to attend please contact Reception to register your attendance by Thursday 6 February.
