2. Partnership News
Dr Roger Halliwell will be retiring as a full-time partner with effect from 1st July 2010. Dr Richard Mithen has now been appointed to take over Dr Halliwell's patient list and we are sure that his patients will welcome him and give him every chance to get to know them.
Dr Izabela Davies will be reducing to a half-time partner with effect from 1st July 2010. Dr Varsha Jogelkar, who has worked within the Practice as GP Assistant for the past four years, will become a part-time partner from 1st July and will be working the remaining part of the week.
3. Review of Appointments System at Sandhurst Surgery
With effect from 1st February Sandhurst surgery will be operating a triage system for appointments, as has been trialled for the last 3 years at Owlsmoor. There will be a triage GP available on Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays. On these days, the triage GP will only contact patients between 9-10am who have requested an urgent appointment after all routine and pre-bookable appointments have been taken for that day. During this time the GP will be able to advise, issue a prescription or book a routine appointment with the patient as appropriate.
