Just a quick reminder that we are already open EARLY.  There are 8.15a.m. appointments slots on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday to see a GP and 8.30a.m. on a Wednesday. Patients ARRIVING at 8.15a.m. at the surgery will be offered one of these early appointments slots which are 10 minutes apart.  The telephone lines are open from 8.30a.m. and appointments booked.

 

Dunstable Citizens Advice Bureau has come to Caddington Surgery. You can book an appointment to see a CAB adviser here in the surgery. This service will be available via an appointment only, every other friday morning. Please ask at reception to book an appointment.

Citizens Advice provides free, independent, impartial and confidential advice on may issues including benefits, employment, debt, housing and legal issues.  (Priority given to clients who are unable or would find it difficult to get to Dunstable CAB.)

Give up smoking

Go smoke free?  It is one of the best things you could do for your health. Making a complete break from smoking. Think about how great it would be to leave those health worries behind you. Picture yourself, waking up and feeling totally fresh. Millions of people in Britain have already gone smoke free and you can too. Click here for more information or contact the surgery.

Are you hard of hearing?

T-Loop symbolThe surgery has a portable T-loop to help hearing aid wearers. To make use of this please switch your hearing aid on to T when you speak to the receptionist and ask that the loop be used in your consultation when you check in. The T-loop can also be taken by the doctor or (district) nurse on home visits if you request this in advance. We regret that occasionally the facility will not be available if in use with another patient. 

You may also like to know that hearing aid batteries are now available from reception.

 

Repeat Prescriptions

Why not try our "Request Repeat Prescriptions by E-mail" service?  It seems to be increasingly popular with our patients.
