Christmas is almost upon us and thoughts go out to Families who are struggling.

With this in mind the practice staff have collected food and toy for donation to Austin House, Salvation Army.

Not forgetting the animals, we have food and toy donations which have gone to Paws for Thought in Roker Avenue ✨️🫢

As of today Sunderland and South Tyneside Hospitals are mandating face masks to be worn by all staff, patients and visitors in the hospitals.

Bridge View Medical Group are not mandating the use of face masks however, should staff or patients prefer to wear one, they will be available to collect at the practice check in areas (the check in screen and the main reception desk)

Following patient feedback for more privacy at the reception desk and the suggestions from Healthwatch Sunderland recent visits, we have met with our Patient Participation Group members today and we have reviewed how our waiting area seats are currently positioned, to see if more space and privacy can be created.

The main seating areas are now to the right of the reception desk (near rooms 1 - 3) and in suite 2 ( near the patient pod machine) creating more space at the main reception desk.

πŸ‘‚πŸ’‘ Ear infections can be painful and frustrating, but knowing the facts can make all the difference!

Whether it’s a common middle ear infection or a less common fungal type, it’s helpful to recognise the signs and take steps early.

Please visit:
πŸ‘‰ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ear-infections/

From itching and discharge to muffled hearing, symptoms vary. And when it comes to treatment, you’ll often hear about pain relief and keeping the ear dry.

Remember: if symptoms persist, worsen or include hearing loss, get medical advice. πŸ‘

It is important you arrive in good time for your appointment. Arriving late causes delays and is unfair on other patients checking in on time. For this reason, we are no longer able to accommodate late arrivals.

If you know you are going to be late, please contact reception and ask if you should still come, the staff will advise whether it is feasible to attend or rebook.

If you arrive less than 5 minutes late speak to reception who will ask the clinician if they can see you, this is at the discretion of the clinician you are booked with. You may be asked to wait until the end of clinic or until there is an unexpected gap, or they may ask you to rebook.

If you arrive 5 minutes late or more, then you have missed your appointment and need to rebook.

Thank you for your understanding.
