Dr Anne Shneerson is Retiring
It is with much sadness that I have to inform you that Anne is leaving.
Although Anne has planned her retirement for some time the date is fast approaching and she will be leaving at the end of March.
After 35 years at The Red House/Burwell Surgery, 30 years as a Partner and the last 9 years as Senior Partner we will miss her immensely, as I know you all will.
If you would like to join Anne for a farewell cup of tea and cake we will be holding an open afternoon on Saturday 24th March from 2.30 0 5.00pm. You are all welcome to come along and share this time with Anne.
All patients registered with Dr Shneerson will be transfered to the list of Drs Wills, Manning or Parry, however you may see any doctor you wish at the practice.
Summary Care Records - Have you made your

allergies and any bad reactions to
medicines. Additional information may be
added over time if a patient gives their
consent.

Patient Survey
We have
received the results of our latest patient
survey. Thank you all who completed the
questionnaire and for the many positive
comments.
We are very
pleased with the results as we scored above
average points in all categories and highest
for respect shown to our patients. Our
lowest score was for the time you spend
waiting to see the doctor. To try to address
this we are now increasing the appointment
times from 10 to 12 minutes.
Health Check
We are now offering a Health Check for all
our patients aged between 40 and 74 years
old.
This check will be
carried out by our Health Care Assistant
Amanda. She will measure your blood
pressure, height & weight, your cholesterol
level and blood glucose and test your urine.
We recommend you take
up this offer, if you are in that age group
you will be receiving an invitation letter
in due course.
