** POWER NOW RESTORED**
Thank you all for your patience.

URGENT MESSAGE FOR WOOLER HEALTH PATIENTS

POWER OUTAGE TOMORROW 10-11AM

We have been notified by Powergrid that the electricity supply will be cut off tomorrow (Thursday 19th February) between 10am and 11am as a minimum. This will seriously affect our ability to treat patients during this time.

We will have no electricity or heating so will have:
** NO TELEPHONE OR COMPUTER SYSTEM
** NO ACCESS TO PATIENT NOTES
** NO MEANS TO ISSUE REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS AND MEDICATION
** NO LIGHTING TO ENABLE NURSES AND DOCTORS TO CARRY OUT EXAMINATIONS BEHIND THE CURTAINS.

Patients who have booked in telephone consultations may experience a short delay. If you have a face to face appointment and it is not advisable from a patient safety point of view to carry this out, you will be asked to come back.

If you need urgent medical advice during this time call 111.
If you have an emergency, as always, dial 999.

We apologise for the disruption to patient care but it is beyond our POcontrol. Thank you for your understanding.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.
It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.
Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.
You don’t need to do anything — your GP practicewill be in touch when your child is due.

ICB CHECKING PATIENT'S ADDRESSES

The NHS North East and Cumbria ICB (our Health Authority) and PCSE (Primary Care Support England) which deal with patient records often check with patients if they are still living at the same address if a letter has been returned to screening invites, ie breast or bowel screening or the patient hasn't responded. If you receive a letter from them and you are still living at that address, you must contact them and not us to confirm this otherwise they will remove you from our list.

Thank you.
