June 2023 - Prescription requests changes

Due to demand and safety our Receptionists can no longer accept repeat prescription requests over the Telephone or at the Front Desk. 

Please see our  Prescriptions Page   for other ways to order your prescriptions if you have internet access, email, or a PIN for our 24 hour automated telephone system.  

You may be offered help at the front desk to gain confidence using a new system. 

Please do not book appointments for repeat prescriptions or Medication reviews as this wastes appointments.

We are very sad to announce that Dr Karina Turner will retire on 30th November 2022

A message from Dr Karina Turner

Many of you will have been aware that I have been on sick leave since December 2021. My treatment appears to have been successful and I am so grateful for the outstanding medical care I have received. I have however decided to hang up my stethoscope and concentrate on keeping fit and healthy. I have therefore decided to retire from Charter and also from medicine. I am so grateful to all my wonderful colleagues who have covered me whilst I have been away. I will miss working with the whole team, some of whom have been my colleagues since I started in 1997. 

We are pleased to confirm Dr Annie Bienias will be taking over my patient list with effect from the beginning of September 2022.
