DR Jill Grant
Thankyou to everyone who has kindly left cards and gifts at Longroyde this week. I have really enjoyed reading the lovely messages, the words remind me of what a privilege it has been to be a GP in Rastrick, and to be part of the amazing Longroyde team. To all those i haven't managed to say goodbye to personally thank you and best wishes for the future.

PATCHS is the new easy way for you to contact your GP practice online. PATCHS has been designed by GPs to make it easier to contact your practice and save you time.
Just answer a few simple questions and PATCHS gets you the help you need quickly.
You can use PATCHS to contact your GP practice for health advice, condition monitoring, repeat prescriptions, fit notes, appointment bookings, and more...
PATCHS provides lots of benefits including being able to make requests in your own time, avoid telephone queues and waiting rooms, and getting quick responses. PATCHS also helps patients who struggle to contact their GP practice using the telephone or in-person. This includes patients who have hearing or speaking impairments, anxiety, and who speak English as a second language.

Measles cases are rising across England.
Did you know that around 1 in 10 children in the UK aren’t vaccinated against MMR?
Measles, mumps, and rubella can cause serious complications, which is why it’s important to get your child vaccinated. Vaccines are usually offered at 13months of age and again at around 4years of age. If your child is older than this but you would like them to have the vaccine, it’s not too late. Please contact us to arrange an appointment.
The MMR vaccine is safe and offers the best protection for children and their community. If you can’t remember if your child has had their MMR vaccines, check their personal child health record (red book) or speak to us so we can check your child’s medical record.
