Summer 2008
New Opening Hours
With immediate effect the Health
Centre will now be open at 7.30am
every day. This means that the
telephone lines will be open at
7.30am as well as the building.
Web bookable appointments for the
same day will also be available from
7.30am . Both Dr Foulds and Dr
Tailor will regularly begin their
surgeries at 7.30am with the other
doctors varying their starts between
8am and 8.30am.
In addition, on a Wednesday evening
there will be a late surgery from
6pm until 8pm.
This surgery will be pre-bookable in
advance. It is NOT a walk in
surgery.
New Prescription Ordering Service
We are trialling a new way of
ordering prescriptions over the Web.
This will run side by side with the
existing system for the time being.
The new system involves logging onto
the EMIS Access Online website at
https://access.e-mis.co.uk/default.asp,
where you can then book
appointments, request medication or
update your contact details.
The advantage of this system over
our current system is that it is
secure, it gives you a list of your
repeat medication and you just tick
those that you want. Here in
the Health Centre the request will
link directly into your medical
record, meaning there should be
fewer mistakes at our end. If
you already have a password for Web
booking you can begin using the
service straight away. If you
don't have a password yet, you will
need to ask at reception. They
will print off an individual sheet
which will give you instructions of
how to set yourself up for repeat
prescriptions and Web booking.
