Everybody at the Practice wishes him all the best in his retirement. Thank you for participating in this years patient survey, for more information click here. From Thursday 7th September patients arriving at our St. Faiths Surgery will be able to tell us they've arrived by using a Touchscreen book-in system.By entering your date of birth, and if necessary the first letter of your surname, you can let our appointments system know that you have arrived without having to wait to see a Receptionist. The Doctor or Nurse will know you are here and will call you for your appointment as normal. This system has been in use at our Drayton Surgery for over a year, and 65% of patients arriving at Drayton now use this to book themselves in. Changes to the Appointments System We now have a duty doctor available everyday who is able to see patients who have emergencies and/or problems which cannot wait until the next day.For more information see the appointments page.
The Practice wish him all the best in his retirement. Dr Leeming would like to thank everyone for their cards, presents and kind thoughts. If you have attended the Surgery recently, you may have noticed signs indicating the number of "DNAs" (Did Not Arrives) for the previous month. Every DNA costs the NHS time and money, and more importantly the loss of an appointment slot that could have been offered to another patient. Appointment Reminders via text message 
The Surgery is testing a new Text Message Reminder Service for appointments direct to your mobile phone.
You will receive a message a few hours before your appointment. If you decide you no longer need the appointment a quick reply will automatically cancel the appointment for you. If you wish to take part in this test, please inform a Receptionist. We will need your most up-to-date mobile phone number The Drayton & St Faiths Surgery Website is launched. This website is to be launched in three phases.Phase 1 will see basic information about the Practice appear online, and will allow patients to Order Repeat Prescriptions and Cancel Appointments from the website. Phase 2 will see more information about the services we provide. Phase 3 will include the facility to book appointments online. It is anticipated that phases 2 and 3 of the website will be launched in the latter half of 2006. |
