Committee Meetings
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been no face to face committee meetings.
For the past 2 months, the Chairs within Medway and Swale area have been meeting virtually via “Zoom” with senior members of the CCG from Medway, keeping us informed of what is happening within the area.
Notes from the these meetings have been circulated to members, put on notice boards at our surgeries and published on Upchurch Matters.
Dispensing activity at our practice is now back to normal after an initial demand for extra medications. This may have been due to press releases stating there would be a shortage. Our dispensing practice deliveries were not affected.
