The winner of first prize was Mr T Musgrove from Manston, second prize was won by Margaret from Minster and third prize by Audrey, also from Minster. All prize winners have been notified and a <strong>full</strong> list of prizes and prize winners is displayed on our notice board at the surgery. All proceeds from this event will go towards our new fund-raising project, <strong>full</strong> details of which are also displayed on our notice board. Photos of the event are published on page 19 of this magazine. A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY! 10th Annual Christmas Bazaar - Saturday 23rd November - Don't miss it! It is always our most popular and Table bookings have already been made so book now to avoid disappointment! PRESCRIPTIONS AND OVER THE COUNTER MEDICINES (OTC) NHS England has published guidance to reduce prescribing medicines or treatments that are readily available to buy over the counter in shops and chemists. This means that some medications will no longer be available on prescription, even if you are entitled to “Free Prescriptions”. All patients effected by these changes will be notified individually in due course. Also, if you seek advice from a doctor for a common condition, such as a cough, cold, sore throat etc, you will be referred to your local pharmacy, where they will be happy to help without the need for an appointment. Obviously, if your symptoms do not improve after a few days you should seek further advice. MISSED APPOINTMENTS Thank you! A good improvement in nurse’s appointments, but 42 patients did not attend their doctor’s appointment and 43 did not attend their nurse’s appointment, so that’s still 85 wasted appointments and valuable time. Remember - Don't need it - cancel it! By text! By phone! It’s easy! HAVE YOU REGISTERED YOUR MOBILE NUMBER? Get appointment reminders and important information sent direct to your phone, then you will never forget! FRIENDS AND FAMILY SURVEY Thank you to all those who take part and please continue to do so. We welcome all your comments, because any feedback - good or bad - can help us improve our service to you. A total of 101 patients responded last month with the following results: Extremely likely/Likely - 91%; Extremely unlikely/Unlikely – 4%; Unsure/Don’t know - 5%. SURGERY CLOSURE DAYS Please note that the surgery will close at 12.00 Mid-day on the following days for the purpose of staff training: Wednesday 5th June, Thursday 27th June and Wednesday 24th July. Please ensure you have sufficient medication to last you during these periods, and of course, please don't forget to include all the family who may need medication and also check when their Medication Review is due. Should you need to see a doctor when the surgery is closed, please call the NHS 111 Service direct on 111, to receive non-urgent confidential health advice and information for all the family. For urgent/life threatening issues, please dial 999 as normal. PATIENT LIAISON GROUP MEETING If you have any issues you would like to raise at our next meeting or require further information on any of the above, then please contact Ken Self on 821200, Jeanne Lawrence on 821049 or email: kenself@me.com
June 2019 PCSO’s REPORT I would like to draw your attention to incidents of fraud which are getting more and more frequent with persons calling you on the phone. These calls are commonly directed towards elderly persons perhaps living on their own. They usually call claiming to be bank staff, police officers or other officials, claiming there has been a fraud on your account and that you will need to take urgent action. Some of the most recent cases are where the victim is contacted stating they owe money to the Inland Revenue in taxes and that they will be arrested if instructions are not followed. They are very convincing. This is not the case, it is a SCAM. Remember the bank or Police will never Phone you and ask for your 4 digit PIN number or your online banking password. Ask you to withdraw money for them Ask you to transfer money to a new account for fraud reasons Send someone to your home to collect your cash, PIN, payment card or cheque book. If you get a call like this hang up and wait a few minutes for the line to clear then call your bank or card issuer to alert them of the scam. You can also contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 20 40 or use their reporting tool at www.actionfraud.police.uk Also, I would like to bring to your attention that residents in Thanet have had calls from a number starting with 01452****** this is a scam line that will bill your phone as soon as you answer. If you have any concerns about this or any type of crime feel free to speak to me when you see me out and about. Or call 101 and ask for me to contact you. MOBILITY SCOOTERS, WHEELCHAIRS AND AIDS Mobility scooters, wheelchairs, rollators, commode chairs, portable electric hoist (note: we do not have any slings) and a few smaller disability aids are available for loan to villagers and members of their families. We will also consider requests from residents in our neighbouring villages. We make no set charge for any of these but we’re open to receiving voluntary donations to help keep the equipment maintained. Thank you to everyone who has helped in some way to make this venture a success, if you or someone you know needs to borrow any of these please do get in touch, if we have it in stock you can borrow it. Thank you in advance to anyone who offers us items or storage space, we really do appreciate it. Please ring/text Ray on 07864 345 019, 07914 623 287 or email rayowen@gmail.com if you would like to borrow any of these, at any time, or if you have something you’d like to donate. Thank you. Minster Matters 5 In Memory of Brian Morphew It is with great sadness that I have to advise that our Honorary Club Secretary Mr Brian Morphew, passed away in the early hours of Wednesday 8th May following a short illness. Brian was a great servant to the club taking on the position of Club Secretary and doing it with great skill and humour. He was also an active playing member who really enjoyed the sport and was keen to pass on his enthusiasm to all. This was evident in setting up a new club competition for members who had not previously won a singles trophy and donated the cup as well! He was also instrumental in setting up regular Friday afternoon short mat sessions for the pupils of Minster Primary School. On a personal note, as the new Chair of the Club, Brian was a fantastic help to me and will be missed by all Minster Bowls Club members & the wider sporting community. Brian’s funeral will take place on 12.15pm Wednesday 5th June at Margate Crematorium. Alan Blake Chair Minster Bowls Club MINSTER MATTERS READERS We are again looking for 1 or 2 people (age and gender not important) to step forward and offer to come and read for our audio version. This is not an onerous task, in fact our sessions are usually very light hearted. We do our recording at the Holiday Inn on a Tuesday evening, monthly from 7.30pm to around 9pm (but usually earlier). We have 2 teams, so you would only be expected to attend every other month and each person normally has just 3 or 4 pages to read. If you would be interested in helping please contact Ray, on 07864 345 019 or email editor@minstermatters.org.uk
