From inside the community Mill Road Surgery Now the weather is cooling down, it means we are back into flu vaccination season and we have the added bonus of Covid boosters at the same time. If you get your invite message then please follow instructions on how to book, as we will be running regular Saturday flu/booster clinics (and a few days in between) for all those that are eligible. If you are unable to make your appointment then please let us know to cancel it so someone else can use the space, as I’m sure you will understand we have a lot of patients to vaccinate! Over the last couple of months we’ve also recruited another Paramedic Practitioner - Darren Usher, meaning we now have three Paramedics with myself, Hannah and Darren. Some of you will have met him already for consultations and he brings over 13 years of experience working on frontline ambulances into our surgery. Some patients have mentioned they feel uncomfortable booking in with Paramedics sometimes, as they don’t feel their condition is urgent/an emergency—just as reassurance, please don’t worry about that! We work in a similar manner to our Nurse Practitioners, so deal with all sorts of illness and injuries, now we have moved into primary care. Hannah will shortly be joining me as a prescriber and Darren will start his course soon, so again we are all in a position to assist most patients. See you at the boosters!
