Because of the bank holidays, it is likely that we will be busy and if you wish to discuss an ongoing problem or need to be seen for a routine check, please try and avoid making an appointment just before Christmas. It is important that you make sure you have adequate medication for the holidays. Have a look now to see if you will run out and get your repeat slip to the medical centre in good time. Not only are we very busy, but the Chemists also need adequate time to dispense your medication. If everyone drops in their repeat on 23rd and expects it before Christmas, neither the staff at the Medical centre nor the chemists could cope.
Remember to check your first aid kits at home for minor ailments and injuries so that you are well prepared. You should have simple analgesics (paracetamol, ibuprofen and aspirin) and if you have small children make sure you have preparations suitable for them. A good range of plasters, simple bandages and antiseptic cream or ointment is a good investment. Your chemist will be able to help and advise.
Everyone at the Selsey Medical Centre would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year.
