Dr Ashby's Patients Joining Our Clinic

Dr. Ashby has asked us to take over the care for some of her patients, as she will be returning to work next year part time.

We're delighted to have her patients join us.

If you have received a letter in the mail from Dr. Ashby asking you to register with us, then please use our online registration page.

Don't forget to print out and return your Patient Access Form to us - unless we receive that form we will not be able to register you.

Dr. Ashby's office has already sent a list of patients who are joining our clinic to the Provincial Register, so you don't need to call them yourself.

Welcome to our clinic - we look forward to seeing you.

Seasonal Flu

We are not currently planning another seasonal flu clinic.  We will be holding one later in the year, but we don't know when yet.

This is because we are waiting for further advice on which patients should receive the seasonal flu.

Currently the advice is that only those patients over 65 years should receive the seasonal flu.  There has been some (unpublished) data that getting the seasonal flu vaccine will increase your risk of getting H1N1.  But, the data is that the extra cases are only mild.  The risk of dying from H1N1 or being admitted to hospital does not go up.

We will be contacting our at risk groups over the next few weeks to advise them when to get the seasonal flu.  We do not charge for our at risk patients (those with chronic disease or over 65 years).

Sherwood Drug Mart is planning a seasonal flu clinic in the near future.  We will announce the dates here when we get them.

More spaces for new patients

We've made good progress with the first batch of new patients, and so I've released the second batch of spaces.  You can see the number of spaces available at the top of the page. 

This second batch is likely to be our last set of spaces for new patients.  Spaces are being taken rapidly, so please do make sure you tell any friends or family who need a family doctor.
