JULY 2010 This is my first submission as the new Practice Manager at the surgery and I am very much looking forward to the new role. You will have all got to know Denise Guy over the past few years, and I hope that I can uphold the high standards that Denise has set. One of the many things that I wish to maintain is Denise’s ‘open door’ policy. Staff at the surgery are always keen to hear your ideas and suggestions about the practice and I would like to reiterate the importance of that to me. Please do feel free to telephone, email or come and see me if there is anything about the surgery that you would like to discuss. New service I am pleased to announce that we are introducing a newly invigorated service at the surgery – our Nurse Practitioner Clinic. Janet Walne, our Nurse Practitioner has been at the surgery for a number of years but from 1 August 2010 she will be running a number of new ‘Nurse Practitioner Clinics’. These clinics will run every day (apart from Wednesday), and Janet will see patients who have a whole range of minor illnesses like sore throats, colds, earaches, conjunctivitis, cuts and sprains, emergency contraception and urinary tract infections. Janet is a fully qualified, experienced Nurse Practitioner who is able to prescribe medication if required, and also has access to one of our GPs should the need arise. Our reception team will advise you of Janet’s availability when you call for an appointment. Finally, Janet will also be running our clinic at Laxfield for one day a week, and covering in Dr Peel’s absence. Goodbye I imagine that some of you will have heard that Dr Philip Getting is leaving the surgery. Dr Getting is relocating to Canada, and will therefore be leaving us at the end of the year. Dr Getting is held in high regard and will be sorely missed by staff and patients alike. I am sure that you will join me in wishing Dr Getting the very best for the future. We are currently advertising for his replacement, and I will keep you informed once we have a new Doctor in place.
