Rugby Myton Support Hub

Open day

Saturday 16 July 2022, 10am – 1pm

The Rugby Myton Hospice Support Hub is a new service aimed at anyone aged 18 years and over who is living with or caring for someone with a life limiting illness. A community-based service working with local partners; all support provided is free of charge and no referral is needed.

The hub is open Monday to Friday 9.30am – 4pm; you don’t need an appointment, just come in.

The friendly staff and volunteers will help you to focus on things that are important to you. This may include:

• Providing information
• Signposting to other services/organisations
• Joining one of the groups or classes
• Popping in to one of the drop-in sessions for a cuppa and to meet people who understand what you’re going through
• Spending time in the relaxing environment to just ‘take a minute’.

A full programme of events is available on the website at www.mytonhospice.org.uk/services or from the Rugby Myton Support Hub reception, including information on how to enrol in each programme or join a group that is of particular interest to you. 

Face Coverings

The Health Security Agency (HSE) has issued guidance to all NHS staff relating to the next steps on infection prevention and control in relation to COVID-19.

The guidance states that patients are no longer required to wear a mask when visiting the surgery, unless they have personal preference to wear one, or are deemed as clinically vulnerable to COVID-19.

We do still request that patients with respiratory symptoms wear a mask, if tolerated.

Please do not come into the surgery if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. We ask that you discuss this during a telephone triage appointment with a Clinician in the first instance. You can book a telephone appointment by phoning at 08:30am, Monday to Friday.

Health and care staff are, in general, not required to wear facemasks in non-clinical areas e.g., offices, social settings, unless this is their personal preference. 

Please visit the COVID-19 Information page for the most up to date guidance on COVID-19 symptoms and testing. 

Please do not attend the surgery if you have any of the COVID-19 symptoms. 

Personal data is shared with information governance-compliant organisations to search and identifiy individuals entitled to health care in the community, recommended by NHSE, but not provided by practices.

Bennfield Surgery is 1 of 12 surgeries within the same Primary Care Network. The PCN consists of GP practices working together, along with other healthcare staff and organisations, providing integreated services to the local population. 

Each PCN is given a sum of money and it is up to the PCN to determine how best to spend that money, depending on the needs of the area. 

Our PCN has employed a variety of PCN staff to ease the pressures from GPs and to bridge the gap between GP and Hospital referrals. 

Some of the staff already employed are:

• Pharmacist
• Occupational Therapist
• Physiotherapist
• Chiropodist
• Dietitian

Some of the services offered above are directly bookable by our Reception staff and you may be offered an appointment with one of the PCN staff rather than a GP when phoning for an appointment. 

The GP Protected Learning Time (PLT) days are held regularly and contribute towards our staff continuous professional development. 

On these PLT days, the surgery will be open as usual in the morning and will close at 12.30pm. Any urgent queries during the afternoon of a PLT day should be directed to NHS 111.

Forthcoming PLT days for 2022 are:

Thursday 15th September

Wednesday 12th October

Thursday 24th November
