Rural Matters

We work in a great area - mostly urban and towards the City but we do have lots of patients who live in the nearby villages such as Burton Joyce, Lowdham and Lambley and some patients further afield.

We also realise that some patients work in rural activities, farmers or growers etc or have rural interests such as keeping animals such as horses etc.

Accessibility

Please use on-line services to help you with ordering repeat prescriptions or booking appointments. Initially pop into the surgery to set this link up with our reception staff.

Please link your repeat prescriptions into one of the village pharmacies for quick access. Your local pharmacy will help you.

Immunisations

We are happy to check your immunisations status which is particularly important for tetanus protection. Just ask the reception staff whether you need a booster.

We recommend the seasonal flu immunisation for all eligible patients that includes, the over 65s, under 65s with a long term conditions, carers, pregnant women, those who are immune suppressed. We are booking clinics now.

Minor ailments and illness

Use your local pharmacy if you can but our prescribing nurse will help with many issues, ask at reception and they can advice you.

We are happy to support Nottinghamshire Rural Support which is a charity helping people who may need some extra help with mental health issues. The service is free and confidential. There is a dedicated freephone number to ring: 08001381710 for advice and support.
