EXTENDED HOURS

We will be offering extended appointment times from early September. We will start consulting at 7.30am each morning from both Ripley and Riddings, and will open till 8pm one evening each week alternating between the sites. We hope this will improve access for those patients who work away.

PATIENT GROUP

We are pleased to report that the first patient participation group took place on Monday April 26th at the Ripley surgery. Please contact us if you are interested in attending a future meeting as more involvement would be great. This is to aid communication between the staff and patients of Jessop Medical Practice, as well as getting more patient involvement with the practice.

FLU CLINICS

The Flu clinics will again be held on two Saturday mornings. The dates for these are October 9th and October 30th. We will soon be writing to eligible patients so please wait till these are received before making an appointment. 

****SWINE FLU JABS*****

We are still offering swine flu jabs for those at risk, with clinics available according to demand at both sites. Please book in at your convenience.

NEW RIDDINGS PREMISES

We are pleased to confirm that Planning Permission has been given for our redevelopment. Construction has now begun on the Greenhill Lane site, and we anticipate completion around Easter 2011. 

GP TRAINING

We welcome Dr Urvi Vyas and Dr Eileen Parrott back to Jessop for 12 months from August 2010. They have both spent time with us before and this year will complete their GP Training. Their Trainers are Dr Blyth and Dr Mott respectively.

Clinics and Services

We offer a full range of primary care services. Chronic diseases, such as heart disease or diabetes, are managed by both our nursing and medical teams. If you have such an illness you will be asked to attend for review at least annually, although this will be more often if your illness is not well controlled.

We perform regular child health surveillance to review all babies at 8 weeks of age prior to their first immunisations.

We offer weekly minor surgery clinics, where Dr Veale or Dr Iqbal Hussain operate to remove skin lesions and the like. You will need to be seen by a doctor prior to such an appointment to assess whether the problem is treatable by us.

Most of the doctors do joint injections if required - these are done in ordinary appointments.

In addition Dr Veale has a weekly vasectomy clinic, both for our patients and also for patients of other nearby practices.

We offer a full range of contraception services, including advice, and fitting of intrauterine devices (coils) and contraceptive implants.

Our nursing team provide cervical screening (smears), and travel advice and vaccinations.

We also offer private medical examinations, HGV medicals, adoption medicals and all similar reports. Please contact the surgery for our current prices.
