Calling the Friarsgate Surgery

Following recent interest in the press the Practice has received concerns from our patients, regarding the cost of calling the Weeke surgery on an 0844 number. 

We would like to re-confirm that we have successfully negotiated the price of these calls down so that they are equivalent to the cost of a local call when calling from a landline. 

The Practice has given notice to terminate the 0844 number contract and from spring next year will have a local number. Please watch the website for regular updates.

Pneumococcal vaccine

We have been advised by our vaccine suppliers of a shortage in the production of the pneumococcal vaccine. Because of this, we are only able to purchase a limited stock of vaccines at this time. If you have recently received an invitation to make an appointment to receive this vaccination appointments are still available, however these are limited at present. Please contact the Practice if you wish to make an appointment.

Quit Smoking

Need any help to give up smoking?  The Friarsgate Practice nurses provide a ‘Quit Smoking’ service and can provide you with the help and advice you need to give it up.

The Friarsgate Practice Patient Reference Group

The Friarsgate Practice ‘Virtual’ Patient Reference Group (PRG) is now up and running but it would be great if even more of you would like to join.
