You asked. We listened.

We heard you — we needed more appointment availability. So we made it happen.

More access. More availability. More of the care Driffield deserves.

We're delighted to have brought FitMums and Friends' Menopause Activity Programme to Driffield, starting in June. We know how important it is for our patients to access support and community around the menopause, and we're proud to have worked with FitMums and Friends to make this happen locally. Anyone interested in attending the programme can visit the following link to book.

We know our new Emma AI telephone system has been a big change, and we appreciate that not everyone likes change at first. However, after reviewing the impact carefully, we will be keeping the system in place.

Since introducing Emma we have seen:

• Fewer abandoned calls
• Shorter call queues
• More time freed up for reception staff to help patients who need direct support
• Improved access for vulnerable and safeguarding patients who previously struggled to get through

One particularly important change we have noticed is that some of our most vulnerable patients are contacting emergency services less frequently because they are now able to reach the surgery more easily and reliably.

We also want to reassure patients that we maintain a dedicated support list for patients who are genuinely unable to use digital or automated systems independently. These patients are identified by the practice so they can still access care appropriately and safely. If you feel you fall into this category please let us know via the online form or in person.

We absolutely understand that some patients prefer traditional telephone systems, and we will continue to support patients who need additional help. However, for many patients, online triage remains the quickest and most efficient way to contact the practice for non-urgent requests.

Our priority is making sure patients can access help safely, fairly and efficiently — and the evidence so far shows this system is helping us do that.

Thank you to everyone who has been patient and constructive while we adapt to new ways of working.

We are currently unable to receive any messages via our Accurx online system and patients are also unable to submit them. This is affecting practices nationally and engineers are currently working on the issue. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will update as soon as the situation is resolved. Any patients with urgent issues should contact us by telephone - our phone lines are working as normal.

We are receiving a number of enquiries following the recent Meningitis B outbreak in Kent. This outbreak is expected to be short-lived and antibiotics have been offered to contacts of any confirmed cases.

The Meningitis B vaccine has been offered to babies born on or after 1st May 2015. Most people born before this date will not have been offered the Meningitis B vaccine through the NHS routine immunisation schedule. You can check your child’s vaccination status in your NHS app. Currently there is not enough stock to allow primary care to give the Meningitis B vaccine outside of the standard immunisation protocol.

Infectious disease experts also advise that it takes 2 doses of the vaccine and a 4 week period after the vaccine has been given for it to become effective.
