Patient Group (PSPG)
For the patients in Purton, Cricklade and surrounding communities
200 Club
It’s never too late to join! We now have 180 people in the 200 Club. Our latest lucky winners have been notified. The numbers were drawn by one of our receptionists, Sofia and are:
first prize of £100 to winning number 4
second prize of £15 to number 81 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. All funds raised through these donations provide all the ‘extras’ needed. We thank you for your contributions.
Harvest Tombola
Our thanks go to everyone who made the Harvest Tombola that was attached to the ‘flu clinic on Saturday in October such a success. Special thanks to Sylvia and Colin Freemantle for organising and hosting it. The grand total raised was £511 – a wonderful achievement.
The ‘flu/covid vaccination programme is coming to an end with approximately 3,000 vaccinations administered.
Talk on ‘women’s health’
We had a full house for the excellent evening talk about Women’s Health given by Dr Wallis. There was even a competition (and prize) given at the end of it! Our thanks go to her for her time and expertise and to all who came to listen and share in the event. The PSPG holds information talks relating to health issues twice a year. If you have any suggestions for these future talks please hand them into the surgery receptionists – we value your input.
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. Should you need to cancel an appointment (and have received a text to confirm it) you may cancel it using the ‘managing my appointment’ link on that text.
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.
As this is the final newsletter of the year, may we wish you a healthy and happy Christmas! Thank you for your support this year.
