COMMUNICATION
The Practice has two very busy sites, however, we are fully linked via 		the telephone and computer system, and reception staff have the ability to
communicate with clinicians at either site throughout the day.  As a patient of 
the Mount Group Practice you are entitled to make an appointment with a GP of
your choice at either site.

COMINGS & GOINGS

We welcome our new nurses Dawn Stephens, Krisztina Opanowska and Rhona Barker.  Dr O Agbola (Female) has joined us as a Salaried GP.  We also have a number of new receptionists at both sites.  

ORDERING PRESCRIPTIONS

Prescriptions can be ordered by ringing the Prescription Orderline 24 hours a day:

Thorne Road 01302 303410  or  Bessacarr Medical Centre 01302 379300

You now have the facility to order your prescriptions on-line via our website mountgrouppractice.co.uk
Please ask at reception for your login details.

Please note prescriptions will be ready for collection 72 ‘working’ hours after ordering, i.e. prescriptions ordered on Saturday or Sunday will be ready for collection on Wednesday.

If you are experiencing problems with quantities of your repeat medication(s), there is the facility to have your medication re-aligned to make ordering easier. 

We have now introduced Electronic Prescribing, please contact your usual chemist and it will be arranged for your prescription(s) to be sent to the chemist automatically. 

APPOINTMENTS

You have the facility to book appointments on-line via our website at mountgrouppractice.co.uk please ask at reception for your login details.

Please be aware that appointments are for 10 minutes, and one appointment 
per patient per problem.  However, if you think your needs require longer please book a double appointment with reception, or on-line.  

Please note that sick notes DO NOT require an urgent appointment, this is considered to be a routine matter.
