Welcome to our website. We have designed a range of pages to provide useful information in an easily accessible form; just click on the menu list (in the left margin). It may be worthwhile visiting the "About this web" page first: This gives an overview of the website and how best to make use of it. News! The Gosforth Valley Medical Practice PPG had an article published in the NAPP Autumn quarterly newsletter. Click here to read.

Only in a small number of cases have people had more serious symptoms, including some people who have sadly died. The National Pandemic Flu Service (NPFS) has now closed. You can still obtain information about the symptoms of Swine Flu from their website at www.direct.gov.uk/pandemicflu or by ringing 0800 1 513 513. If you think you may have Swine Flu, you are advised to ring the surgery to make an appointment ************************************************************** Top Every month we have a number of appointments which are "wasted" through patients who book the appointment but then either forget to attend, or forget to cancel the appointment if no longer needed. We collate this information and feed it back to patients monthly via a notice in the waiting room and here on the website in a more sophisticated form: Monthly figures and trends. ************************************************************* Top From 1/05/2009, the Gosforth Valley Medical Centre is again open from 08:00 - 20:30hrs every night Monday through Friday. As usual, this includes lunchtime from 12:30 - 13:30hrs. The Practice is also open late evenings to 20:30hrs for PN consultations with Kathryn Collier for:
These GP & PN consultation slots are particularly provided for people who work and find attending the practice difficult during working hours, but can be used by anyone (although if you can attend during the day, we would appreciate being able to keep the late evening appointments open for those who need them). These appointments are available to patients registered with the practice, including those registering for the first time during one of these sessions. Please note: Home visit requests made after 18:30hrs should be referred to the Derbyshire Health United Out-Of-Hours service, and not the practice. ************************************************************** Top We currently have 3 new doctors at the practice Dr. Ross Dyer-Smith Dr. Julian Hick Dr. Jo Stewart See the Personnel page for more details. ************************************************************** Top
