** SICK NOTES ** 💙💚
DID YOU KNOW when you're absent from work... You DO NOT require a sick note (now called a fit note) for periods of 7 days or less.

> A fit note for periods of OVER 7 days is free of charge

> A fit note issued for periods of absence UNDER 7 days should NOT be requested via your GP

> If your employer asks for evidence for the first 7 days of sickness, a healthcare professional may charge a fee for this IF they offer this service. Your employer should pay the fee if one is applied.

> You do not need to see a healthcare professional again to go back to work.

> Your employer may ask for confirmation that you’re fit for work, but healthcare professionals DO NOT have to provide this as part of their standard service.

Depending on your job, you may need to meet other requirements before you can return to work after being ill.

For example, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) rules will apply if you drive a large vehicle like a lorry or bus. More information can be found here:

❄️ Get vaccinated this Winter ❄️

Seasonal flu continues to circulate at higher levels than usual this year, with national data showing cases are three time higher than this time last year.

💉 If you have been invited for a flu vaccination and haven’t had your flu jab yet, please contact the practice to book in today. The flu jab remains the most effective way to protect yourself and help reduce the spread of flu

Protect yourself, and others this winter 💙

Can we please remind patients and visitors to the pharmacy to use only marked parking spaces. If there are none available there is ample street parking on both Fusehill and Grey Street. The below are examples of how not to park. Not only does this block in other drivers, but you are preventing ambulances, who we do have to call from time to time, gaining access to our surgery.

We have sent a number of text messages to our patients who are due their routine cervical screening test. We have nurses working this Saturday at Eden Medical Practice. If getting to surgery Monday to Friday is problematic then please call and book one of these slots. Thank you

Unfortunately our phone lines are still down, the fault has been reported and engineers are working hard to fix the problem. You are still able to book appointments at either surgery. Thank you

Due to a national issue our phone lines are only working intermittently. Please be patient whilst engineers try to fix the problem. We are still able to make appointments if you come to either surgery. Thank you

We are closed from 1pm today for staff training. If you require medical assistance during this time please call 111. We re-open at 8 am tomorrow. Thank you

During the month of September 523 patients did not attend their booked appointment. This equates to 87.15 hours of clinician time.

We do not need to highlight what a waste of resource this is.

If you are unable to attend please have the courtesy to let us know so we can offer these valuable appointments to someone else.
