Arrivals.
October 12th, 2011 by Dr Wheeler.
I am pleased to introduce to you the two new arrivals in North Uist medical practice.
Dr Woods has come over from Glasgow where she has been working for the last few years. She brings a wealth of experience to North Uist and has a special interest in respiratory medicine.
Jan Barker has been in post for just over 3 months now as our new practice nurse. She has already fitted in very well with the team. I am sure many of you have got to know her over the past weeks.
I will try and persuade both of them to post a little bit about themselves in due course. Watch this space.
North Uist Patient participation Group.
July 12th, 2011 by Dr Wheeler.
The North Uist Patient Participation group (PPG) has now had a series of initial meetings to set out its role and allocate responsibilities for different members.
The idea of the group is primarily to act as a sounding board for the community – a way for the practice and its patients to communicate on a variety of topics.
There is a different representative for each of the main North Uist areas. For simplicities sake we have divided the island by its telephone directory codes.
Your representative for each area is….
Ms Sandi Humphrey—Sollas

You can contact your local representative to bring up issues relating to the practice. This could be a request for more information on a particular topic / an idea that you would like to implement to help the health of the community / or a suggestion for changes to the way that the practice works.
Please note that the group is not an appropriate forum for complaints – these should be addressed directly to our practice manager Helen Maclean.
We plan to publish the minutes of each meeting on the website for anyone to see – the first of which can be downloaded here.
