Lakeside Healthcare @ The NQS

Important Patient Announcement.

As of the 01st July  the partners of New Queen Street and Stanground Surgeries in Whittlesey and Stanground are delighted to announce that they are to merge with Lakeside Healthcare Group.

The ‘super-practice’ will serve the healthcare needs of more than 180,000 patients across four counties: Northamptonshire, Rutland, Lincolnshire & Cambridgeshire.

This is very exciting news for all patients and staff as it ensures sustainability and continuity of service provision as well as terrific opportunities for future growth.

We remain deeply committed to providing high quality primary care services for this and future generations in our region.

RG Note:- We at the Patients Participation Group of the New Queen Street Surgery were aware of this ‘merger’ – but details were confidential.
What is ‘actually’ means for patients we have yet to find out.
I understand that the PPG will still have an ‘interface’ dialogue with the ‘new’ practice regime – and I will try and attend the meetings, these do sometimes clash with other meetings I attend on the same evening.

A Pilgrim Once Again….

Some years ago, Thorney Abbey advertised for ‘Pilgrims’ to join them for the anniversary of St. Botolph (Thorney Abbey, now the Church of St Mary and St Botolph, was a medieval monastic house established on the island of Thorney).

I decided to join with them in their celebrations – however – I found too my amazement I was the only ‘Pilgrim’ to join them, I spent a few hours and many cups of tea and cakes with the few members of the Abbey.
Today I was humbled to be able to carry out another ‘Pilgrimage’ to the Iona Abbey, it is located on the Isle of Iona, just off the Isle of Mull on the West Coast of Scotland.
It is one of the oldest Christian religious centres in Western Europe.
quite a surreal experience.
I am grateful to The Argil and Bute Council for allowing me to take my car over to the small Island.
Peace, quiet and a few hours ‘off’ the grid, alas I was not the only ‘Pilgrim’ on this occasion.
So besides St Columba establishing the Abbey, Macbeth is buried there along with ex Labour Party leader John Smith.

Drivers Targeted With Fake Fines…Beware….

What you need to know

Action Fraud have received an increase in reports and intelligence where elderly victims are being targeted by individuals purporting to be police officers or traffic wardens. The victims are being approached whilst parked in a car park and are told by the suspect that they have parked illegally or broken a speed limit and a photo has been taken of their car for ‘evidence’.

Victims are advised that they will face a substantial penalty fine unless they pay a smaller upfront fee immediately. Victims, who opt for paying the smaller penalty, will be directed to a parking meter and asked to enter their card and PIN. These parking meters have been tampered with by the suspect in order to retain the card.

Once the victim inserts their card and are asked for their PIN, the victims are shoulder surfed for their PIN by the suspect. Once victims input their PIN, the card is retained by the machine and victims are told by the suspect to seek help from the company who operates the parking meter or their bank.

What you need to do

  • If you are suspicious about the authenticity of the fine, do not pay it until you have verified it with your local council.
  • Always shield your PIN from view when using an ATM machine, and never share your PIN with anyone.
  • If your bank card is retained by an ATM machine, contact your bank immediately to inform them.
