BRIDGE SURGERY IN SUPPORT OF ST GILES HOSPICE

Dr Waddy, Dr Sellens, Sister Ann Dawson and Angie Carpenter (Deputy Practice Manager) are taking part in the annual St Giles Solstice Walk on 23rd June 2012 and would really appreciate your support.  If you would like to sponsor them or make a donation please go to our Just Giving page: http://www.justgiving.com/BridgeSurgeryFairies2012 or speak to a receptionist.  Thank you.

SURVEY RESULTS

The Bridge Surgery Patient Group Survey Results are now available to view - click here for the full results and here for the action plan.  If you have any comments to make to the practice or Patient Group about the survey and/or action plan please click here. 

ARE YOU A CARER?

Are you caring at home for a dependant relative, partner, child or friend who needs your support due to illness or disability?  If so, you are a carer.  It is important that your doctor knows you are a carer.  Please fill in a 'Carers Identification Form' available from the surgery and hand it in at the reception desk or click here for an on-line version and for further information.  Carers can also find out about sources of help and support by contacting the Carers Association Southern Staffordshire (CASS) on 01785 606675.

BRIDGE SURGERY'S PATIENT GROUP & VIRTUAL PATIENT REFERENCE GROUP

We have an active patient group that meets at least quarterly - click here for more information and for the minutes to previous meetings.  We are also recruiting patients to join our Virtual Patient Reference Group - click here for more information and/or to sign up to this group.

HAVE WE GOT YOUR MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER?

It would be really helpful if you could provide us with your mobile telephone number - if you have one.  We may need to contact you urgently about an appointment or medical matter.  We now send text reminders out one working day before booked appointments to those patients with a mobile number recorded.  If you prefer NOT to receive text messages from us please let us know and you won't be sent any - even if we have your mobile number recorded in order to contact you in an emergency.  We are hoping that this may help to reduce the high number of wasted appointments we have - an average of 100 appointments a month are wasted equating to around 20 hours of clinical time. 

Moving House?  Important Information

Please be aware that if you move house and your new address is within Stretton, Rolleston on Dove, Anslow, Tatenhill, Lodge Hill or Derbyshire we will ask you to register with a GP closer to your new address.

Ordering Your Repeat Prescription Online

Just click on the Prescriptions tab on the top left hand side of this page or the Repeat Prescriptions link at the bottom of this page, complete the online form (remembering to 'uncheck' any items that you do not need this time) and click Send Request. You will receive an e-mail confirming that we have received your request. Prescriptions will be available for collection 48 hours (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays) from receipt of your order.  Please remember requests sent over the weekend will not be picked up by the reception team until Monday and will not be ready for collection until Wednesday.  We now receive almost 700 requests a month in this way!

Surgery Car Park

If you travel by car to the surgery, please ensure that you drive slowly and carefully keeping to the left through Holly Green. Please park ONLY in the surgery car park or preferably use nearby public parking areas. Holly Green is private and its parking areas are for permit holders only.  Thank you for your co-operation.
