Practice News and Notices

**NHS 111**

The new 3-digit 111 service has now gone live on the island. Patients should phone 111 if they require Out Of Hours treatment when the surgery is closed. For life threatening emergencies continue to dial 999.

 **DR MAUREEN SIMMONS/DR SHANTI KAKURLA**

 Dr Simmons has reduced her surgery commitment from 3/4 time to 1/2 time from the beginning of April. At the same time Dr Shanti has increased from 3/4 time to full-time. This has meant a reallocation of some of Dr Simmons patients to Dr Shanti, those involved have been sent a letter giving details of the change.

**ABOLITION OF PRACTICE BOUNDARIES**

We are receiving calls to ask when our list will be open to all patients following the abolition of Practice boundaries. As far as we are aware the National consultation process regarding this started in April 2011 and any changes are unlikely to be implemented before 2012. 

**DR STEPHEN SELBY**

 Dr Stephen Selby joined us as a full-time partner on 1st September. Stephen is a very experienced Newport GP and has taken Dr Knights patients following his retirement.

We are happy to register Stephens patients living in Newport who wish to stay with him following his move to this surgery. However our Practice boundary ends at the Racecourse Roundabout and we are unable to register any patients living East of the Roundabout, including Wootton/Wootton Bridge.

 **NEWPORT UNDER 25 DROP-IN SERVICE**

This is our Young Persons Sexual Health Clinic that runs every Wednesday between 3.30pm & 6.30pm.The Nurse run Clinic offers advice on all aspects of Sexual Health  for the Under 25s & is open to all Island Residents not just those registered with this Practice. It is totally confidential. No appointment necessary, just turn up on the day. If you would like further information please contact Glenda Morey on 523525.
