Private Services
Some services are available privately at the surgery, ie driving medicals and
insurance reports. When asking doctors to complete forms or produce letters on
your behalf, please bear in mind that these may attract a fee. Details of our
fee scale are available from reception.
Enthusiastic patients of The Stubbington Medical Practice have set up a Patient Participation Group that is involved in helping to shape the way local health services are delivered. The PPG works to improve communication between the Practice and its patients, to ensure the services on offer truly meet the needs of all patients with the Practice. The group is already doing some great work on behalf of all the patients who use this Practice, and it would like your help and suggestions on ways the Practice can improve its services for the good of the patients and the Practice. The PPG group meets regularly at the surgery. If you want to make suggestions or would just like to find out more we look forward to hearing from you! Please contact the Practice Manager, Sue Bailey on 01329 664231 or e-mail sue.bailey7@nhs.net, who will put you on to a member of the group.
Other Organisations
We have insufficient room to display the wealth of leaflets and posters received
from charities, caring organisations, support groups etc. Details of many are
available from reception.
