Autumn 2010

Mr. A. S. Vijay Kumar ran for Charity with a large group of American Doctors in Denver, USA. Mr. Kumar's donations are in support of The Gandhi Orphanage - Deena Bandhu Orphanage based near Chennai, South India and the sponsored monies will help fund repairs and a new roof. The Orphanage accommodates 173 children between 3 and 14 years old and survives on charity funding and the goodwill of the staff that work in the organisation. CMP have been active with the Orphanage over the last 2 years and providing water supply last year and contributing to the cost of the food. We would like to thank everyone who kindly sponsored Mr. Kumar and any further contributions will be greatly appreciated, so anyone wishing to contribute further donating to this worthy cause please contact The Practice on 01302 700378.

Winter 2009/10

We have successfully chaired the workshop on the "Sickness Note & Wellness Initiative Programme" on behalf of DWP & RCGP. This was well attended by over 30 GP's.

We have won an NHS Alliance/Dept of Health Awards in Manchester in October for "Involving patients in care delivery" category for 2009/10.

The practice has been selected to pilot the Department of Health programme in a pace-setters programme. We have taken the lead in caring for the large Traveller population who currently reside inside out boundaries.
