As part of our continuing drive to improve the service to our patients, we will be starting a new 'all in one' medication review from January 1^s 2011.

We will be asking those of you on regular medication to attend for an annual review in the month of your birth.  On receiving a letter, you will be asked to call our recall team, who will book any necessary blood tests or nursing appointments on one day and then a follow-up medication review soon after.  Therefore, most of you will only need to attend the health centre twice in one month to cover the whole year.  However, some patients need to be monitored more closely and may need to come back again.  If so, we will send reminder letters.

We do ask you to respond to the letters and book your appointments as we cannot continue to supply medication safely without regular checks.

In the first year, some patients may be asked to attend even though they have been seen recently.  We apologise for this but it should only happen once while we get everyone into the new system.

We thank you in advance for your co-operation, and hope you will find this new system to be of great benefit to you.  Please do not hesitate to speak to me, Ajay Patel, or my pharmacist colleague, Mr Mark Stone, if you have any queries regarding this new system.

Please do not ignore reminders to make an appointment as your prescription will not be ready for collection.
