Potential Scam (18/05/2020)
We have been notified today of a possible scam.
Some women are being contacted by text message, claiming to be from the call and recall service, to advise they are overdue for screening. The message asks them to call a mobile number and provide personal details.
These messages are not from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme.
Please do not ring their number.

Parental Guidance
EAR SYRINGING
We are committed to providing best practice and high quality care to our registered patients. Ear syringing is no longer considered to be the first line treatment for the clearing of ear wax and it is not a funded service within the NHS for General Practice.
Current guidelines are that ear drops should be used to soften the wax which will then enable the natural movement of the wax from the ear.
In line with current best practice and many other GP surgeries nationwide, Plas Meddyg Surgery has made the decision to withdraw the ear syringing service with effect from 10th February 2020.
If you have ear symptoms that concern you, please book an appointment to see a Nurse or GP at the practice

Patient appointments with a GP are now available between 18:30-20:00 weekdays and 08:00-20:00 weekends/bank holidays
Our patients can now be seen for routine GP appointments in new GP centres at Queen Mary's Hospital and Erith Health Centre from 18:30-20:00 weekdays and 8:00-20:00 weekends/bank holidays.
These appointments should not be used for a follow up appointment, as continuity of care is important, but if you have a non-urgent problem and can’t wait for our next routine appointment, please call our receptionists who will be happy to book an appointment for you.
You will be seen by a local GP who will, with your consent, have full access to your medical records and we will receive details of the consultation automatically.
