Important Information for Patients - changes to appointment system

Please note – from Monday 6 February 2012 the phone lines will not be open until 08.30am

We are currently in the process of reviewing our appointment system. If you think you need to be seen ‘’on the day’’ you will be triaged by the Duty Doctor or Nurse. This means that you will be phoned back, usually within an hour, to discuss your problem. You may be dealt with over the phone without the need to come to the surgery and a prescription can be issued, if necessary. If the doctor or nurse feels they need to see you, they will offer you an appropriate appointment.                                          

Routine appointments are available for all other problems and can be booked in advance.

Thank you

Public Notice  

This is to announce the commencement of a 90 day consultation period for the possible closure of Beechcroft Surgery.   

There will be a public meeting to discuss the proposal on

Thursday 1st March 2012 at 3pm at The Costessey Centre,

Longwater Lane , Norwich , NR8 5AH

(Stafford Hall) 

 

 

A GP partner has retired in December 2011 and another partner will be leaving in June 2012.   Recruitment has proved more difficult than originally anticipated  and in order to plan the best way to manage our patients healthcare provision , the meeting on 1st March 2012 is being held to discuss all  the options available to the practice.   As yet, no firm decision or agreement has been made.

 

Dr. Sharon Smith 

BSc MB BS, London 1980

Dr Smith retired on 31st December 2011.  She joined the practice in 1995 and worked part-time mainly at Beechcroft.  We wish her well for the future and hope she has a very happy retirement.

 

Patient Participation Group

We would like to encourage more patients to join The Partnership’s Patient Participation Group which meets approximately 2/3 times a year to discuss your views on patient service, and discuss your experiences when coming to our surgeries.

We would like to encourage more mums and dads to get involved to give us more feedback on how we can help provide the service you need for you and your family.

If you are interested in getting involved please call the Surgery and let us know or email taverham.partnership@nhs.net
