Welcome to White House Farm Medical Centre, The Blog

This is a blog to keep you up to date with things happening at our practice. This will run in conjunction with and supplementing our new website.
It is mainly meant for our patients and staff, but other visitors are also very welcome to visit us. Please bear in mind, that although we are happy to listen to your suggestions and answer questions you may have, we will not be offering any personalised medical advice on this blog. If you have any medical questions regarding your own or a loved one's health, we will not be able to deal with those in this setting.
Please in that case arrange to see a doctor of your choosing and discuss your questions and/or concerns at that time.
Feel free to make any suggestions or ask for any general medical information and we will be happy to consider or answer these where we are able to.
We do have comment moderation on, all abusive or offensive comments will not be published.

We hope you will enjoy visiting us here and on our new website (currently still in development) and that this will help to improve our communication with our patients.

All at White House Farm Medical Centre.

Welcome to White House Farm Medical Centre, the blog!

This post will remain on top, please scroll down for more recent posts.

I guess it is about time we start blogging on this blog. Welcome to all our patients, our team and all others interested in our blog.

We are currently in the process of setting up our own website, and this little blog will run in conjunction with that. So, keep an eye out for our website as well. Once it is set up, I will put a link on this blog to it.

What is this blog meant for?

That is a rather easy question. We are planning to update you on things happening at our Medical Centre, some information on things happening in the medical world and anything else that might be of interest to you as far as health and healthcare are concerned.

Please feel free to suggest any subjects you would like discussed here, but bear in mind, we use comment moderation and will not publish any offensive or abusive comments. This to protect our readers as well as ourselves. This blog is meant to be helpful and informative. We may also not be able to take up all your suggestions, but we will certainly consider them.

Our ideas of what is to be included so far include:

  • Overheard from the waiting room (grumbles, queries, etc, and our attempt to explain why things are as they are)
  • In the medical news this week/month
  • What is happening at the practice (changes, clinics, announcing flu clinics etc)
  • Information on clinics and how they are run
  • New developments (booking and cancelling appointments online, ordering prescriptions, etc where appropriate)
  • News from patient participation group (still in development, please feel free to let us know if you are interested to join this group, we are aiming to make this a virtual group to allow the group more freedom/flexibility)
This list is likely to keep growing as we develop further.

I hope this has given you a bit of an overview of what we intend to do. I guess it is about time that we join the modern era.
