Dr Mason Leaving
We are very sad to announce that Dr Eleanor Mason will be leaving Billingshurst Surgery at the end of June.
She has been at Billingshurst since 2019 and has a great deal of wonderful memories of her time here.
Dr Mason is particularly sad to leave the area and patients that she knows well, but feels it is time for a change. She will be focusing more on her young family and her interest in medical education.
If you would like to leave a message for her please complete the leaving message form and we will collate all messages into a book for her.
Learn more about what your pharmacy can do for you
A new website has been launched to provide information about several NHS services that pharmacies in England are providing.
The website provides information on the following three NHS services:
There is a separate page for each of the services on the website providing information about the three services and there are links to the NHS website to find a pharmacy that offers the service.
The website also explains that patients have a right to choose which pharmacy they use to receive NHS services.
