Following the introduction of Jess's rule across the NHS the Practices at Danes Camp, Grange Park, Rillwood, Roade, Hanslope and Blisworth are adopting it. The PPG supports this measure and invites all patients to familiarise themselves with the extra safeguards the rule introduces at this link (https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/jesss-rule-three-strikes-and-we-rethink/ ).

Successful recruitment is vital to the delivery of impactful research, and this recognition highlights the outstanding efforts made by our team to engage patients and support research excellence.

The OPTIMISE 2 trial plays an important role in improving care and outcomes within primary care settings, and we are delighted to contribute so strongly to its success.

Danes Camp Surgery have asked the PPG to communicate a change in the monitoring of car parking at the Practice. Following on-going parking issues with parents from the school parking in the car park, Danes Camp will be implementing MNPR (remote monitoring). The School has already been informed.

MNPR is manual number plate recognition - the car park will be monitored remotely and continuously. If someone parks without permission or a valid reason, they may receive a parking charge.

Please share this message widely.

Thank you.

I know it is Christmas and we all like chocolate but please circulate this Food Standards Agency alert. Peanut allergy is not that common but for those afflicted it can be fatal.

The FSA has found several Dubai-style chocolate products that do not meet the required food safety and labelling standards.

A REMINDER ABOUT PRESCRIPTIONS

In three weeks it will be Christmas! The two-day holiday falls on a Thursday and Friday so in the week before Christmas Practice Administrators will need to do 5 days work in only 3! In addition GP Surgeries and some Pharmacies may also remain closed until the following Monday. If you expect to renew your prescriptions between now and Christmas, please plan to do so in good time rather than at the last minute. Whilst the normal limit for re-orders is less than 7 days in advance in circumstances such as these you can make a special request more than 7 days ahead by putting your requirements in the notes section of either the Airmid® or NHS® app. on your phone, or via the SystmOnline® link on the prescriptions page of your Practice’s website.
