July 2010 Text and Email Consent
The practice would like to make increasing use of new technologies to communicate with patients.
We will soon have the facility to send text messages to patients to inform them of changes in practice services or opening hours, invite them to attend for flu vaccinations or medication reviews and even issue reminders of appointments. We would also like to make increasing use of emails to keep patients informed of practice developments.
In order to do this, we need patient consent. If you would be happy to recieve text messages and/or emails from the practice, which may be of general interest to all patients or specific to you please complete a consent form, available from Reception or download a copy here. Drop it in to us next time you pass.
Information for travellers to France
French Authorities have reported an increased number of measles cases in France this year.
Parents who are planning a holiday in France and have not had their children vaccinated against measles should ensure that their children have the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine.
It's never too late to get the MMR vaccine for your child - it provides the best possible protection against Measles, Mumps and Rubella.
Contact the practice for advice on vaccination, or you can visit NHS Choices for more information.
