Welcome new staff Since last meeting Dr Sarah Atwell left, Claire Hughes ( nurse practitioner) left and Sue Clark (reception). Dr Amy Kang joined for a year (August 2015- July 2016), Olive lake, nurse practitioner, joined last year, 3 new ladies in Reception, Wendy, Debbie and Elaine, who are trained to be helpful, cheerful receptionists as we want to remain a friendly surgery. Dr Richard Wood increased his sessions to 8 sessions a week. the 1st of April this year we have had to give all New Services patients access to their medical records and they can register for’ Patient Access’ by requesting a registration form from reception. This allows patients to view their medical records from the 1st of April onwards, request medication online, view results and communicate with the surgery through Patient Access. The link to Patient Access is available on our website. Any problems and we are happy to help anyone with registering. We do not book appointments through Patient Access as we have a separate appointments system. Patients can sign up for online appointments on this system, please ask at reception. Berryfields Medical Centre has also taken on the responsibility for the Buckingham Lodge Care home on Buckingham Park. This Care home is now just over half way full (can house up to 64 residents) and Dr Amy Kang has mainly been looking after the residents. Update on Premises We still do not have a suitable site to build a permanent surgery. We have started a petition and is was discussed that it will be a better idea to email a letter to patients which can be sent by patients to the relevant MP, John Bercow for Buckingham Park and David Liddington for Berryfields. Berryfields Medical Centre is growing very fast ( registering about 50 patients a week) and at this rate we would need another consultation room every 6-9 months.
