EXTENDED ACCESS
We are offering pre-bookable appointments on Saturday mornings from 8:00 am until 10:30 am. There will only be one GP on duty and these appointments are designed mainly for patients who have difficulty accessing our services during the week. NB This is NOT a drop-in surgery and appointments will not be available on the day.
To complement the Saturday GP surgery there will also be a Practice Nurse surgery once a month on a Saturday morning, again pre-bookable only from 8:00 am until 10:30 am.
Minor Injuries
We are happy to treat patients with minor injuries
but if we feel it appropriate e.g. the need for an X-ray, then we
may have to refer you to A&E at
Book Appointments On-Line
You can now book appointments on line H24 but to be fair to all patients not all appointments are available on-line. To use this service you must first register for EMISaccess, in person, at reception.
GPs attached for Specialist Training (ST)under the Vocational Training Scheme (VTS)
As an accredited Training Practice we also have an ST2 doctor on a 6 monthly placement. Dr Aneel Cyril joined us on 5th August 2009 for 6 months, and he will be replaced by Dr Alex Cameron on 3rd February 2010. He will need to video some of his consultations and your permission will always be sought before this is done and no offence will be taken if you decline; please note that the ceiling mounted video camera cannot see anything inside the curtained area and that all video consultations can be monitored in real time by Dr Julia Visick who has overall responsibility for VTS doctors training whilst they are at Marysville. For more details of the VTS scheme go to http://www.shropshirevts.com/contact.htm
We have to undergo regular assessment to retain out training status and this includes a formal inspection every 3 years, we were last inspected in July 2009 when our status was renewed for another 3 years.
Patient Satisfaction Survey Results
We now have the results back from the 2008 survey. Overall we scored very highly, maintaining the good results from previous years. Your scores and where appropriate, your personal comments have been noted and will be considered. NB This is a government controlled survey, we have no input and we do not decide who is asked to complete it.
Practice Opening Times :
Mon-Fri: 8:30am - 6:00pm and wef 2nd January 2010 Saturday 08:00 to 10:30
Unlike most other surgeries the telephones and the building are not closed at lunchtimes so that appointments can be made at any time. Prescriptions can also be collected throughout the day.
It is also possible to drop off prescription requests outside of these hours. We now have a mailbox, fitted to the pedestrian entrance in the perimeter fence to allow you to do this when the surgery is closed. Please see the prescriptions page for easier ways to obtain your prescription.
