Joint or muscular complaint? You can book directly into an appointment with a First Contact Physiotherapist on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays at the surgery - these are highly trained, advanced physiotherapists who can assess the entire range of muscle and joint problems organise courses of physiotherapy, x-rays and referrals if needed. It is usually much quicker to see a first contact physiotherapist than wait for a GP appointment - book via the NHS app! 😊

Several dental practices, including new urgent dental hubs, across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are offering urgent appointments as part of a national programme. In November around 34,000 additional urgent dental appointments were commissioned to support patients across the region who need to see an NHS dentist for emergency treatments.

These urgent appointments are for patients who are likely to be in significant pain, including those suffering from infections or needing urgent repairs to a lost filling or crown, and require urgent treatment. Patients who need urgent dental care can access these appointments by using 111 online or phoning 111. Patients will be directed to the appropriate practice to be seen for their urgent need.

Conditions suitable for urgent dental appointments include:

🦷 Severe toothache - persistent and intense pain that cannot be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
🦷 Dental abscesses - infections causing swelling, pain, and possibly fever.
🦷 Broken or knocked-out teeth - trauma resulting in a fractured or completely dislodged tooth.
🦷 Bleeding in the mouth following a dental procedure or an injury that doesn’t stop by itself, but can be self-controlled using local measures (If the bleeding cannot be self-controlled in any way, emergency care may be necessary).
🦷 Swelling - significant swelling in the mouth or face that could indicate an infection.
🦷 Fractured, loose or displaced fillings causing pain.
🦷 Severe bleeding from gums, or acute conditions affecting other soft areas of the mouth (such as cheeks or tongue) which require urgent treatment.

Other treatments may be available at the discretion of the dentist. These treatments may require extra visits and costs.

We have one of our nursing team leaving us on Thursday this week. Maria has been with us for over two years. She leaves to spend more time with family in Italy, but will still be living locally and so may be doing some sessions for us from time to time. We have a new nurse Chrissie, joining the team early February who will lead on respiratory conditions. We wish both employees all the best.
