Christmas Opening Hours As this year Christmas Day falls on a Sunday normal opening hours will apply for the week leading up to Christmas and we will reopen on Wednesday 28th at 8.30am after the Christmas holiday, phones will be open from 8am. However we will not have any prebookable appointments available on Friday 23rd December, Wednesday 28th December, Friday 30th December and Tuesday 3rd January. On these days if you need to see a Doctor or Nurse urgently please phone the surgery and you will be offered an emergency appointment or a phone call.
Normal opening times apply for the rest of New Year Week.
As we ask for 48 hours notice for repeat medication can we ask that you request any medication needed over Christmas by 6.30pm on Tuesday 20th December, and for the New Year by 6pm on Friday 23rd December so we can arrange this for you. Our baby immunisation clinics on Monday 26th December and Monday 2nd of January will be cancelled as we will be closed. When the surgery is closed Out of Hours cover will be provided by The City Care Centre in Thorpe Road. You can phone them on 01733 293800 or phone the surgery and follow the instructions to be connected through to them. In addition the Alma Road Primary Care Centre in Alma Road, Peterborough is open every day over the Christmas period from 8am to 10pm.

Information on opening times will be available on our website www.hamptonhealth.co.uk Finally may I wish all our patients a very Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year.
Annual Patient Survey Many thanks to everybody who gave us suggestions for our patient survey. To those of you who suggested specific questions we have had to generalise these to make the survey a manageable size.
The survey is now available online on our website and we would be very grateful if you could spare a few moments to complete it to give us your thoughts and suggestions on the practice.
Please go to www.hamptonhealth.co.uk and click on the link to complete online. We will look at all your responses and feedback our findings to you in the New Year.
Practice List Re-opens The Practice List is now open for new registrations, so to register please call into the surgery bringing proof of address, and ask for a registration pack.
New Centre for Children's Services
At the beginning of August the new Hampton Sure Start Children’s Centre will open in Hampton Hargate near to the primary school. The Centre will be the base for children’s services in Hampton and as part of this the Health Visiting Team currently based at Hampton Health Practice will be moving into the Centre when it opens and they will then start to run their regular child health clinics at the centre, not at the surgery. Please note that the day for this clinic will change from the current Thursday to Tuesdays but the time will remain the same 9.30am-11.15am. In addition Sue Squibb the Community Midwife, who sees ladies throughout their pregnancy, will be running her clinics from the Children’s Centre from the beginning of August. If you do have any queries with these changes you can contact the Community Midwives on 01733 874585 or visit our website on www.hamptonhealth.co.uk for contact details for the Health Visiting Team. |
