Mortimer Medical Practice Patient Participation Group August Update:-

We are open for business but in a very different way:

• ​All doctor and nurse appointments are triage or telephone and  then face to face appointments offered as necessary, you cannot book a face to face appointment
• Some appointments are now done via video link
• Patients on regular medication who collect from chemists are encouraged to  use and advance ordering system (similar to that already used for those who collect from our dispensaries)
• Time is allowed between all face to face appointments for cleaning rooms
• Screens have been fitted in dispensary and reception areas
• Patients should be encouraged to contact us if they are concerned or have a new condition which may need investigation.   cont/d.... 

 Dr Gray retired on 30th June 2020, we give him our best wishes for a long and happy retirement.  Dr Kemp has now become a partner in the practice.We have won two awards:

• Silver award for 2020 from Green Impact for Health
• Dr Gray won the Trialogue Award from Keele University.  This award is for excellence in teaching and nominations are made by Keele Medical Students

From 1st September 2020 you will no longer be able to order your prescriptions by telephone.  This method of ordering is unsafe and has been discouraged in Herefordshire for some time now. Prescriptions can be ordered in the following ways:

• ​Order when you collect for the next month (this can be done at pharmacies as well if you collect from there)
• Post your repeat slip or leave in the boxes outside each surgery
• Order online via Access or the NHS app​

Please wear a face covering when visiting the surgeries.  PPG Rep Lingen.

To the wonderful members and supporters of the Lingen Gardening Club, given the difficult times that we are living in, it will probably not be a surprise to you all that the club will remain closed for the remainder of 2020. 

Those of you who kindly took out membership for 2020 will have it automatically renewed for 2021. On behalf of the committee we hope you are all keeping well, staying safe and look forward to an improving situation in 2021. 

Thanking you for all your support.
