The following was discussed at the last PPG meeting:
There have been a number of staff changes over the last 6 months.
Notably, the practice nurse Bonnie Olsen left in April and has been replaced by Kate Goldup.
The practice has a 'Social Subscriber' now who will signpost patients to the relevant department.
The main focus in Medway and Swale this year will be on diabetes, cardio issues and lung cancer.
Practice programme
Individual nurses are now responsible for the following new clinics at Maidstone Road and Upchurch surgeries:
ECG’s - All nurses
Wound Clinic (apart from ongoing leg ulcers ) - All nurses
Mental Health - June East
Diabetic Checkups - Amanda Epps
Spirometry appointments are also available for patients with breathing difficulties.
Nurses have returned to doing face to face appointments.
Flu vaccination
The practice is expected to receive vaccines in mid-September and the surgery WILL CONTACT PATIENTS to make an appointment.
NB Please DO NOT telephone the surgery regarding your yearly flu jab, the surgery will contact you.
Patients who are 'house bound' will also be contacted regarding their flu jab.
Stay safe
