News:

 Swine Flu update
If you have flu-like
symptoms, please DO NOT come to the surgery. Click here for the latest advice. If you are still concerned or are in an 'at risk' group, stay at home and call your GP, who will assess you over the phone. If your GP confirms swine flu, they will arrange for you to receive antiviral medication if appropriate.

In the meantime, take paracetamol-based cold remedies to reduce fever and other symptoms, drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest.

Pneumococcal Clinic
We will be holding a pneumococcal vaccination clinic on Saturday morning, 1st August for patients aged 65yrs and over and those in the 'at risk' groups.  This is usually a 'once in a lifetime' vaccination.  For further information please contact reception.

Extended Access Clinic
Do you work late? Do you find it difficult to attend the surgery during normal surgery hours? If so we are pleased to be able to offer you our Extended Access Clinic. Please ask at Reception for our Monday, alternate Thursday and alternate Saturday morning opening hours.

Out of Hours
In  an emergency, when the surgery is closed in the evenings and weekends, a message is left on our surgery telephone to ring ‘SHROPDOC’ on 08450 20 21 31.

Test Results
If you have had x-rays or blood tests etc., you may enquire about the result without seeing the doctor. All results are screened by the doctor and it is your responsibility to contact the Surgery for your results 3 or 4 days after the specimen has been sent to the laboratory

Home Visits
Home visits are available to the housebound and to those too ill to come to the Surgery. If a visit is required on the same day, please try to contact the Surgery before 10.30 a.m.  A doctor will usually ring you prior to visiting.

Free Prescriptions for Cancer Patients

People being treated for cancer will be eligible for free prescriptions from 1st April 2009 and can apply for free prescriptions from today.

The new scheme, announced by the Prime Minister in September last year, abolishes NHS prescription charges for everyone undergoing treatment for cancer, the effects of cancer, or the effects of cancer treatment.

All cancer patients are entitled to apply for a 5-year exemption certificate, which will entitle them to all their NHS prescriptions free of charge, not just those relating to cancer. The certificate can be renewed as many times as necessary and will not have to be returned if the patient’s condition changes.

Patients should contact their doctor to apply for exemptions.
