The coronavirus crisis has made the past few months an extremely challenging time for many local people and I am grateful to each and every constituent who has followed the government’s guidance, no doubt saving countless lives. In recent weeks, we have made a lot of progress and, as we look forward to more opportunities to see family, friends and colleagues, we must continue to stay alert in order to control the virus.
In fact, local businesses have shown great resilience and flexibility throughout this difficult period. A recent trip to Whitewaters Café, No 2 Pound Street, Rumsey's and The Bakers Shop not only left me needing to do some exercise to work off all the delicious food, but also demonstrated how well firms have adapted so they can continue to serve the community and provide jobs for their staff. I am very pleased that Wendover market has been able to reopen some stalls with safety measures in place and that soon, as further It has been fantastic to see how Wendover restrictions are lifted, even more Wendover residents have pulled together in the face of this businesses will be back up and running. crisis.

Prescriptions
Follow us on Facebook at WestongrovePartnership
Traditional prescriptions (FP10s) are being phased out by the NHS, instead nearly all prescriptions will now be processed electronically. The NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) allows prescribers to send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy of the patient’s choice. Whilst paper prescriptions will continue to be available in special circumstances, from now onwards almost all prescriptions will be processed electronically. If you are a non-dispensing patient and you do not have a nominated pharmacy, you will be given an EPS token. This looks similar to the usual green FP10, and will still need to be taken to a pharmacy to obtain your medication. The pharmacy will then link the token to the actual prescription. If you have nominated a pharmacy this will ensure that you are able to pick up your prescriptions directly without needing to collect a token from us. Please let us know your nominated pharmacy when you are next in contact with us if you do not already have one.
Appointments
We are moving permanently to a “telephone first” system of appointments. This means that we no longer offer any appointments for pre-booking. If you have a medical problem or concern about yourself or someone who you care for, you should call Reception during our opening hours. Please share with the Receptionist brief details of your concerns so that you can be directed to the best person in the team to help you, and where appropriate a call back will be arranged. Urgent problems will always be dealt with on the same day. Most problems can be managed with a telephone or video call, but where necessary a face to face appointment with a doctor or nurse will be arranged. Anyone entering the Health Centre must wear a face covering.
Opening Hours
Our current opening hours are 8am-6.30pm Monday to Friday. For the time being we will not be open on Saturday mornings nor opening late on Tuesdays. Please only come to the surgery if you have an appointment, or you must collect something from us or deliver to us. For up to date information on changes to our opening hours and the services we offer please visit our website or Facebook page.
Flu vaccination
We are currently working with the CCG to look at how we will deliver our flu vaccinations this year. This will be different to previous years due to the limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to maintain social distancing.
