Dr
Gavin Griffith
Dr Gavin Griffith was a
partner at our practice from 1963 to 1999, and the Senior partner for most of
that time. He died at home on 31st March 2010. We will all miss him, and value
the support and leadership he gave us over many years.
If you think
you have Swine Flu - do not come into the Surgery or go to A&E.
Ring the Surgery on 01424 772060 to
arrange to speak to a Doctor. We will be visiting very few patients with Swine
Flu to avoid spreading it. Our visit and out-of-hours telephone line is 01424
772263.
When we speak
to you about flu - we will ask you if you have had a temperature
above 38 degrees. Do you have a Thermometer and some Paracetamol at home? If not
- please consider buying them.

Book your
appointments online - we hope this service will become available later in 2010.
Recently
turned 65?
If you are 65 or over,
you are invited to have a pneumococccal jab. This is a one-off (for most
people) vaccination directed against the most common form of pneumonia and also
a strain of meningitis/septicaemia. If you would like to have this, please
ring and make an appointment with the Practice Nurse. There are a few
people for whom this vaccine would not be suitable (such as patients receiving
chemotherapy or radiotherapy) - please ask if you have any concerns.
Quality Results
Martins Oak
achieved 995 out of 1000 points in the 2009-10 Quality and Outcomes Framework due to the efforts of the
Doctors, Practice Nursing Staff and Administrative Staff. The QOF is a measure
of the achievement of quality care of Patients. We were also on of only 7 out of
34 Surgeries in Hastings & Rother to get maximum points for our appointments
system after an anonymised patient survey. Thank you to all those who filled in
a questionnaire.
