Introduction

The annual report is prepared each year incorporating data which used to be required by the Primary Care Trust and information we feel is useful to report. Last year’s figures appear in brackets. Thanks go to everyone who helped prepare the report and a special thanks to Sheila Winton for collating all the data.

This year the practice list size has grown with an increase of 50 patients mostly in the 65-74 year age group. In keeping with national trends we have also had a 9% increase in births from 35 to 41, while the number of deaths remains stable at 70.

Consultations rates have increased and total patient contacts are up nearly 500 compared to last year. In particular telephone rates have increased 870 from 2676 to 3546. The practice aims to see patients who request to be seen on the same day. Use of the telephone allows patient queries to be addressed on the same day and improves communication with relatives and other agencies.

We continued to carry out minor operations and corticosteroid injections. Two basal cell carcinomas were identified and referred on. The number of patients receiving cryotherapy treatment for sun damage had increased. We are very grateful to the Patient Participation Group (PPG) for purchasing a new cylinder for liquid nitrogen, allowing us to continue this service locally for our patients.

We scored well in the QOF gaining 890 out of 900 available points and are pleased to be offering new services this year. We can now carry out point of care testing for deep vein thromboses, dermatoscope analysis of skin lesions and have started vaccinating against shingles in specified age groups.

We always strive to provide an excellent service for our patients and have worked closely with the PPG, reflecting on the results of the patient survey. We value our excellent team of staff and have introduced a start of the day meeting to maintain a good working environment. This year we said good bye to our receptionist, Anne Dalleywater, one of our longest serving staff members after 25 years.

In the coming year we will continue to prepare for our Care Quality Commission inspection and aim to expand the services available to patients including cardiac event monitors, contraceptive implant insertion and on site memory assessment,
