Rebecca
Park, who was our practice manager for just over
three years, left us in January to take on a new corporate
practice management role. We are extremely grateful for
all she has done for the practice and, while we are sad
to see her go, we wish her the very best in her new career.
We
are pleased to welcome David Lee-Jones
back to the team, who many patients will have come across
when he was with us last year as a medical secretary. He
will be taking over the accounts and sharing practice administration
with Victoria Sebbage, who will be extending
her medical receptionist role to include further management
responsibilities. David also pursues a career in acting
and has recently completed filming on the British comedy
feature Elevator Gods, which should be in cinemas
in 2011.
In
other Entertainment news, our own Dr Eugene Lewis
performed with the European Doctors Orchestra in
a special concert on Tuesday 9th February in support of
The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture.
The
Diet Doctors and facing the eternal New Year Diet Resolution!
Samina co-presented the 3rd series of the popular programme
'The Diet Doctors' on Channel 5, which
has recently been rebroadcasted.
 Samina
was co-writer of the book, based on the series. It is called
'Diet
Doctors Inside and Out': The 12-week Plan to Make You Slim
for Life.
It
can be bought at all good bookshops including Amazon
or signed copies available from the practice.
Start
reading and adjusting your life-style now, still enjoy the
festive season and avoid the dread of the New Year diet!
Care
Quality Commission Registered
The
practice is now formally registered with the Care Quality
Commission formerly known as The Health Care Commission.
This entails having all aspects of our practice scrutinised
and means all processes within the practice have been assessed
as 'safe' and that modern healthcare standards have
been met. We knew we were doing it right, but its
nice to have formal recognition!

Human
Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccination
You
may have read about this new vaccination. It is aimed primarily
at young girls, although it can be given to women up to
the age of 26. Ideally, females should receive this
vaccine before they become sexually active.
By
preventing HPV infection it will prevent the development
of most pre-cancers of the cervix, vulva and vagina, and
genital warts. Studies show that the vaccination is very
safe.
A
choice of vaccine (Cervarix and Gardasil) is now available
at the HSGP. Three doses of either is required, and prices
are available on request.
If
you or a member of your family would like to consider vaccination
against HPV please do contact us.
