Aelfgar Surgery has finally been given the go-ahead from South Staffordshire PCT to commence their building alterations. The partners have now secured funding to allow them to increase their clinical rooms at the practice in order for additional services to eventually be offered.
Dr Huda said, “this is a really exciting opportunity for Aelfgar Surgery to be able to enhance our services which we offer not only to our patients but for others residing in Rugeley”. He also made reference to the surgery entrance which will be updated with automatic doors, “we are aware that some of our patients have considerable problems with the existing doors, by updating these, this will also ensure our practice is up to date with Disability Discrimination rules etc”. He went on to explain that by removing the numerous toilets and utilising the space more efficiently this would free up much needed space along the medical corridor for additional clinical rooms.
Work is due to commence shortly after the Easter period and will continue until late Summer.
Everyone’s co-operation and patience is paramount throughout the Summer and the practice will try, wherever possible to keep any disruption to the patients to a minimum. Plans are on display in the surgery for anyone who wishes to look at the changes or you can download a PDF copy of the proposed changes here - it is 1MB in size.
