Noticeboard

NOTICE TO OUR CALLINGTON PATIENTS:

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Rhiannon Starks is joining the Practice on Wednesday 6th June. However, we regretfully announce that Dr. Rob Adams is leaving Tamar Valley Health in June as he is re-locating to another part of the country. We wish

Dr. Adams all the very best for the future. We are actively recruiting for this post.

If Dr. Adams is your ‘usual’ GP then you will be advised who your new ‘usual’ GP will be once they have been appointed. Until this time you can continue to see any of the GPs or regular locum GPs at Callington.

NOTICE TO OUR GUNNISLAKE PATIENTS:

Dr. Michelle Raspa will be joining the Practice on Thursday 7th June 2018.

If Dr. Prior was your ‘usual’ GP before he left you may now have

Dr. Raspa as your ‘usual’ GP. Reception can advise you if this is the case after the above date.

Prescription Ordering

A minimum of three clear working days is required to process all repeat prescription requests. ‘Working days’ are classed as Monday to Friday (excluding all Bank Holidays).

So for example, if you would like your medication to be ready on a (non-Bank Holiday) Monday afternoon, you will need to order it on Wednesday morning at the latest.

Tic Tac & Advice Links for Young People

Tic Tac, a Locally Enhanced Service, is a teenage information and advice service commissioned by the KCCG and provided by Tamar Valley Health, based at Callington Community College. At the last CQC inspection it was rated as "Outstanding" for the services provided for local young people.

Students are seen for a wide range of health and well-being concerns, including advice on contraception and mental health issues. We are able to provide on-site pregnancy testing, chlamydia screening and condoms, via the C-Card scheme.

Daily sessions are held at lunchtime between 12.20 – 2pm. GPs (2 female and 1 male) are normally available on a Tuesday or Thursday once a week. A Practice Nurse is available on Monday and Friday and the School Nurse on Wednesday. Appointments may be pre booked or on a drop in basis and are managed by the Tic Tac Administrator.

The service is run from a small bungalow close to the entrance of the college. It is quiet and confidential and all consultations are confidential from school and parents unless there is a child safeguarding concern.

Lead GP: Dr Alison Farr

Tic Tac Administrator – Mrs Cheryl Kerr
