luhere are two surgeries on the peninsula, one in Shotley and one in Holbrook.
Each surgery has a Dispensary which will issue prescribed drugs to eligible patients (if you live within one mile of an independent Pharmacy we are not permitted to dispense to you).
Each surgery is a well equipped, purpose designed building and is conveniently situated in the centre of its village on bus routes.
Wheelchair access, disabled toilets and baby changing facilities are provided at both premises. In addition to the main surgeries, there is a surgery held at the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, for pupils only.
NEWS FROM THE PRACTICE
Training Days - The next training afternoon will be on Thursday 13 September 2018 when the surgery will be shut from 1 pm. Reception and Dispensary will also be closed so you will not be able to make appointments or collect medication. Please ring 111 for advice if your query cannot wait until the following day. In an emergency, dial 999.
Further training days
2018: 15 November, 12 December
2019: 13 February, 14 March
Flu Days - The way the flu vaccination clinics are run will be different this year due to a change in vaccinations and a very late, and spread out, delivery schedule. There will be one vaccine for eligible patients under 65 (those with certain long-term conditions such as asthma and diabetes) and a different vaccination for those aged 65 and over, called Fluad, There is only one national supplier for the Fluad vaccination, which means that our delivery dates have been staggered from the end of September to the end of November. This is a national issue and a strict timetable has had to be set accordingly. Please see the surgery for dates of the flu clinics.
Fidget Quilts - More than 225 fidget quilts to the dementia unit at Ipswich Hospital as well as Suffolk Family Carers. They are also being used in A&E to calm patients with many varfied diagnoses whilst waiting so if anyone can spare time to make these, please ask in practice for details.
Community Connector Scheme has received further funding and has extended to include new venues. If you know of a neighbour who needs help or you would like to talk to comeone yourself, please visit the bus on a Tuyesday or Wednesday
