steps.

Weight Loss Service for Adults
Would you like to lose some weight for the good of your health?
Are you over 18 years old and need to lose a stone or more?
Are you put off joining a slimming group because of the weekly fees?
If so, make an appointment with a Practice Nurse to discuss weight
management strategies.
Appointments are available every morning and some evenings – just ring
your local surgery.
Wasted Appointments
Last month over 13 hours of doctors’ and nurses’ time was wasted because
some patients who had booked appointments did not attend.
PLEASE let us know in advance if you cannot make the time and
date you had arranged.
Even short notice will allow us to offer the appointment to someone
else.
CHECK YOURSELF IN!
 |
Our automated check in system is now
installed at both Holbrook and Shotley Surgeries.
If you have an appointment already booked with a doctor or nurse that
day, when you arrive you will touch the screen to give your gender and
then your date of birth.
That’s all! Our computer system will recognise your appointment and will
let the doctor or nurse know that you have arrived. You will not give
your name so no one else in the waiting room will overhear or see any
confidential information.
If you want to book another appointment or ask a question about any
other matter you will still need to go to the reception hatch where our
staff will be pleased to help. We hope however that queues will be a
thing of the past!
We will be delighted to receive your views on this new equipment. Use
the Contact Us button on the left to give us your views.
