Why do we use an 0845 number?
There has been a lot of unfounded criticism in the press recently on GP practices that use an 0845 number. See the March 2011 Newsletter for a full explanation of the benefits that this affords us.
Newsletter
Keep up to date with what is happening at Carden Medical Centre. Many patients will know of the death of an ex colleague and friend and we pay tribute to his contribution in our Oct Newsletter.
Seasonal Flu Vaccination!
Yes it is that time of year again, follow the link for more information.
It's Your Practice
This is a Patient Guide to GP services produced by the Royal College Of GPs that will explain in detail the essence of General Practice and what you can expect from the service we provide. I would strongly advise taking the time to read this fascinating booklet. It's Your Practice
Extended Hours & Sit & Wait!
The practice has embraced the move to
extended hours and opens 6pm to 8pm on alternate
Wednesday/Thursdays and there is a move afoot by some of our earlier risers to
offer appointments from 7am!!! Watch this space
Patients will be able to book appointments from the Monday
of the same week. By offering increased flexibility we hope patients who meantime have
difficulty getting to the doctor, will now have added opportunity. The doctors
by offering this service will try and share out the responsibility equitably,
but please bear in mind that the doctors will already have been working from
8.30am in the morning, as we still have to deal with the daytime commitments.
For the
Sit & Wait option, please follow the link.

Your Doctors will always do their best for you. But they need your help to provide the best care for all patients.
Please show your
support by following these simple guidelines:
-
Please treat your doctor and their staff as you would expect to be treated by them - with politeness and respect.
-
Please cancel appointments that you cannot attend or no longer need - somebody else is always waiting.
-
Please think twice before calling a doctor to your home - is a visit really necessary?
-
Please do not expect a prescription every time you visit the surgery - good advice is often the best treatment.
-
Please remember that you can find basic health information elsewhere - for example your local pharmacist or via web links.
-
Please request your repeat prescriptions in good time - this help avoid delays.
-
Please remember that doctors are only human - they cannot solve all your problems and some illnesses cannot be cured.
If you have genuine complaint, please contact the business manager first. This is the quickest way to solve any problems.
Thank you for helping Carden Medical Centre to provide a better service.
