Missed Appointments
It was reported at the April meeting, that Doctors within the group were concerned with the number of missed (i.e. NOT cancelled) appointments during the last three months (153 to be precise).
If you find you are unable to keep an appointment please give the surgery as much notice as as possible by Tel: 01634 231423.
Given the ever increasing demand this may allow your slot to be re-allocated to another patient.

Drs L. & V. Shaunak Retirement
The sum of £320 was collected and the Chair, Ray Kemsley presented the couple with vouchers for London Theatreland, 6 bottles of good quality red wine and a bouquet of flowers as a token of patients appreciation which I am sure is shared by so many of you for their dedication courtesy and patience over such a long period.
Below is a copy of the letter of thanks:-
‘We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our former patients for their kind messages and generous gifts upon our recent retirement.’
