The Haydon Bridge Health Centre Dispensary is now running at a reduced service for the foreseeable future. The dispensary will now be open Monday to Wednesday 8.00 until 18:00 and closing between 12.00 and 13.15. The dispensary will not be open on Thursdays and Fridays. Please can you ensure medication is ordered and collected during these times. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Due to the staffing pressures currently experienced by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust the Urgent Care Centre at Hexham General Hospital will be closed overnight (2200 to 0800) from 18 July 2018 for at least four weeks. During this time please contact NHS 111 or, in an emergency, 999.
Online booking system – new log-in details
We have recently changed our clinical system to one that is used widely across other local healthcare services. This new system will help improve how our healthcare professionals share important information to benefit your care.
Our new online booking system is now up and running, please contact us to receive new log-ins to enable you to book an appointment or order repeat prescriptions online.
If you are already registered with our online booking service for appointments and repeat prescriptions, you do not need to re-register. However as this is a different system, you will need new log-in details – please request these now by contacting the surgery either in person or by telephone. Log in details can be given to you in person or posted to your address.
Please note the new log-in details won’t be automatically issued, you will need to contact us to request these.
Thank you for your co-operation.
NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM:
During April we are changing the clinical system we use to one that is used widely across other local healthcare services. This will help us join our clinical systems with other parts of the local NHS and ensure the right information is available to the different healthcare professionals who are responsible for treating our patients.
We wanted to make you aware of some temporary changes as we safely change our systems over the next few weeks:
- For a few days in late April we are offering slightly fewer routine appointments. If you need urgent advice you will still be able to speak to a healthcare professional the same day by calling the practice.
- We are unable to offer online booking for appointments or prescriptions until 23 April. If you need to make an appointment, or order a repeat prescription, please call us on 01434 684216.
Using the online booking system
If you are already registered with our online booking service for appointments and repeat prescriptions, you do not need to re-register. However as this is a different system, you will need new log-in details – please request these from 23 April by contacting the surgery either in person or by telephone.
Please note the new log-in details won’t be automatically issued, you will need to contact us to request these.
