EXTRA ROUTINE APPOINTMENTS

In response to patient demand the CCG (NHS) has commissioned the provision of extra routine appointments after 6.30pm week day evenings and  during the day on Saturday and Sunday.

Bookable through reception these Routine appointments are available at Comberton or Nuffield Road Surgeries and will be with trained clinical staff who have access to your full medical records

GLUTEN FREE CONSULTATION

Be advised that the NHS is undertaking a consultation with the view of ceasing availability of the majority of gluten free products on prescription. The consultation runs until 1st Oct. If you have views to express contact your local MP or your local CCG Patient Experience team.  The plan is to change the legal framework to prevent GPs issuing these items on prescription as from December. The Dept of Health and Social care has previously undertaken a consultation about its decision to restrict GF Prescribing to bread and mixes only.
