Winter Planning
As part of our contingency planning we are
making arrangements to ensure that we
can maintain service in the event of adverse
weather. Most of our staff live locally and
are able to get to work and enable us to
keep the surgery open.
In cases of extreme weather some patients
will not be able to get to the surgery to
attend their appointments. As always, if you
are unable to get to the surgery for an
appointment please telephone and let us
know and we will do our best to make you a
new appointment.
Our biggest problem is helping patients who
really need to come to the surgery. We
would like to have a list of volunteers with
suitable vehicles (e.g. 4x4’s) who may be
called on to bring patients in, or to help
doctors make emergency home visits. We
pay a mileage allowance but must ask that
any volunteer has motor insurance that
would cover them in this type of event. If
you are willing to join the list of volunteers
please do get in touch.

The hospital phlebotomists are now
providing blood test appointments here at
the surgery every Monday and Thursday

to make the most of this service so unless
you need to have a fasting test please be
prepared to accept a later morning slot.
