Cold Weather Advice

The current forecast is telling us that it will be particularly cold this week and into the weekend. When the temperature drops to below 8C, some people are at increased risk of: Heart attack,stroke,flu,pneumonia,falls and injuries, hypothermia Cold weather can also affect people with mental health conditions, such as depression and dementia. Check up on older neighbours and relatives, and those with heart or respiratory (breathing) problems, to make sure: they're safe and well,are warm enough, especially at night,have stocks of food and medicines so they don't need to go out during very cold weather If you're worried about a relative or elderly neighbour, contact your local council or call the Age UK helpline on 0800 678 1174 (8am-7pm every day). https://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/winterhealth/Pages/KeepWarmKeepWell.aspx

Friends and Family Test(FFT) Result for January 2019

In January, we had 25 replies to the FFT, of those 22 were positive, which is 88%. In general feedback has been positive, although we have been very busy at the start of the year, so some concerns have been raised regarding waiting times to see a GP, and ability to get hold of the surgery, particularly early on the morning. We endeavour to keep to time and also answer the telephone as quickly as we can, but the nature of our work does mean that emergencies do arise, and we can get delayed. With the support of the CCG we have agreed to continue with Practice Assist until the end of March, which we hope helps the surgery to provide the best support we are able to.
