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.

Confidentiality

The practice complies with Data Protection and Access to Medical Records legislation. Identifiable information about you will be shared with others in the following circumstances:

  • To provide further medical treatment for you e.g. from district nurses and hospital services.
  • To help you get other services e.g. from the social work department. This requires your consent.
  • When we have a duty to others e.g. in child protection cases. Anonymised patient information will also be used at local and national level to help the Health Board and Government plan services e.g. for diabetic care.

Sometimes audit or research work is carried out for the benefit of the wider health community. Much of this is initiated by the Department of Health for them to collate information and carry out surveys, and is therefore not controlled by the Practice.

If you have any concerns regarding this, you should contact the Patient Liaison Service (PALS) on 01773 525028. We never give information to commercial companies without your consent.
