Update from last meeting

A new social prescriber is starting at the surgery. They will be offering face to face appointments at the surgery twice a week. This will be a shared working week with Fort House surgery.

Moving forward: introduce to Amy for possible clinics to be held at Hersham Centre for the Community.

  • Reception manager has confirmed the contact information for Elmbridge Transport – 01372 474944, is given to patients to arrange hospital transport. This information will be added to the new website. AH suggested Care in Community should also be an option. They do not charge for the services. ACTION: Feedback to reception manager.
  • A new poster is up in the reception area asking patients to inform reception team of their needs. These action points will then be added to the patient’s individual medical notes as pop-ups. Action: CC to send AH the poster to be hung in the Centre
  • New website feedback is that the front page is not clear and to make an appointment button should be clear to patients. Action: Feedback to the IT board.
