Leiston Surgery is pleased to announce that in the not too distant future there will be a lift installed at the surgery. Not only this but a full ‘Make Over’ is planned to include new entrances, new waiting areas, better reception facilities, more consulting rooms with a two story extension and ...without losing car park space! In fact we hope to gain a few spaces by redesigning the top car park.

In order to achieve our goal to give you a better surgery with much improved access we would like to make TWO appeals.

One… is to support us by giving to the LIFT FOR LEISTON FUND.

Although we have received a grant from the Eastern Educational Deanery there will be a shortfall for all the work we would like to carryout.  A special fund has been set up for your kind donations. You can give via the surgery Co-Op dividend number 266 097. We have produced some easy peel stickers (see below) that can be stuck to the bottom of your dividend card so you don't have to remember the number. You can get them from the surgery.

Donations can also be made via a cheque made out to The Leiston Surgery. It is intended to hold fundraising events over the summer where there will be collection boxes.  We are also in negotiations with the Friends of Aldeburgh and District Community Hospital,  Suffolk Primary Care Trust  and local businesses hoping to secure  additional funds.
In the event of the surgery being sold and rebuilt elsewhere funds raised for this project will be returned to the community and will be put towards a similar public concern.

Our  second appeal is to your patience and  understanding whilst the work is going ahead. It is a large project and will involve some disruption to the access to the surgery at times and in the working patterns we may need to adopt. The builders will be working in an awkward space and it will test all users of our care, patients and staff alike! We of course plan to continue all the work that we currently perform but we may need to work around the builders from time to time.

Hopefully building work will get underway very soon and we will all be able to appreciate the changes to come. It’s about time !

Thank you for your support
