Patients who have visited the Alwoodley Medical Centre recently will have noticed that a new notice board and accompanying bookcase have appeared in the waiting area.

Your Patient Participation Group is proud to introduce The Reading Well Scheme which suggests helpful reading for adults and young people experiencing a variety of conditions.

We hope that you will read the posters on the noticeboard because they explain how each group of patients is targeted and supported.

We have provided leaflets of recommended titles which you can take away.

In addition, we have provided examples, of other books which we believe could be helpful. All the books that you will see on display in the AMC waiting area have been borrowed from our nearby Moor Allerton library.

It is hoped that if a patient, or relative, sees a book which may prove helpful, they will take the short walk down to the library and ask to borrow it.

For any patient who is not a member of the library, this is not a problem. The friendly library staff will enrol you and if the book that you have requested is not immediately available, they will get if for you within days.

Also, although there will be a recommended return date, this is not something to worry about as there are no longer fines for late returns and the books can be returned to any Leeds library.

Did you know you can manage repeat prescriptions from Alwoodley Medical centre in the NHS App?

You can easily choose where your prescriptions are sent. So, if you know you'll be away from home or you are moving home, you can change your nominated pharmacy from within the app.

You can also order your prescription at any time that suits you. There’s no need to wait to join a telephone queue or wait until the GP surgery opens.

It’s easy to use, and, if you hit a snag, you can go to ‘Help’ in the top right-hand corner of the app or visit nhs.uk/helpmeapp.
