Bon Voyage

After 14 years Dr Jean-Xavier Meguer will be leaving the practice to take up a position in Australia.

In his time here Dr Meguer has been a GP Partner, the lead GP for Children Safeguarding, and our Caldicott Guardian. He will be greatly missed by patients and staff alike, and we would all like wish him the very best for his new adventure in Oz.

Dr Meguer’s patient list will be looked after by the remaining GP’s until his position has been filled. The list will then automatically transfer to the new GP. If you have any concerns please speak with a member of staff.

Seasonal Influenza

We will soon be starting our seasonal influenza vaccination campaign, and are already booking our patients into our flu clinics, being held on Saturday 5th October and Saturday 26th October. If you are eligible for an influenza vaccination (flu jab) please call in and book your place now.

This year, there are different vaccines for the different age groups so please let the reception know your age when you book in for your jab.

Note: children in reception class and school years 1 to 5 will be vaccinated at school this year.

Online Appointments

From July 25% of our GP appointments will be available to book online (a mix of pre-bookable and same day appointments) so, if you haven't done so already, you might like to consider registering for Patient (Online) Access. Pop into the Health Centre (please bring photo ID with you) and fill in a simple form, and we will be able to create a registration document for you.

There is a new service offering advice and support to carers in Somerset. For more information visit the Somerset Carers Service website, or give them a call on 0800 3168 600. If you would like to be referred to the service, have a chat with our new Carer's Champion, Jo.

Green Impact for Health

Glastonbury Health Centre is pleased to announce its involvement with the Green Impact For Health Scheme. This is a national project designed to help GP practices and the NHS become more environmentally friendly and sustainable whilst also benefitting patients.

We are currently promoting inhaler recycling – look out for posters around the practice and ask your pharmacist about recycling your old inhalers. Currently Boots in Glastonbury High Street and Tesco Pharmacy on Wirral Park Road are taking part in the scheme.

Watch this space for more green ideas!
