Happy Birthday to us!!
It is now exactly 12 months since we moved into our new premises - wow, doesnot time fly. It seems like a good time to review what its been like.
The staff all like working in the new premises - all the doctors now have their own room, the office is much less crowded, we all now have a good working environment. I think our patients like the new building: there is much more room in the waiting room, privacy at reception is much improved and the surgery now feels bright, modern and clean. With more space we have been able to have more training doctors - we now have four full time trainees and one part time trainee and been able to provide more services. We now have onsite physiotherapy, mental health services, Age concern drop in and are just about to start doing carpal tunnel surgery in our dedicated day surgery suite.
We knew that parking in the surgery car park would be inadequate for patients but we have had few complaints about this, although we are concerned about the inappropiate use of disabled spaces by members of staff! There have also been a few minor niggles about the building itself - the heating and ventilation plant room gets too hot, the large meeting room divider keeps chewing up the carpet and we have had a few leaks from our flat roof ... but it is not a fridge and so may well be expected.
Overall then I think the new building has been a huge success and look forwards to working here for many years to come ...
