Ketton• The population of Ketton is 1666 (2001 census.
1643 ONS mid-2007)• Uppingham surgery has 355 of its registered
patients who live in Ketton and use the Ketton branch surgery
• Ketton surgery is open 3 sessions per week – 2 doctor sessions, and 1 nurse session - a total of 8 hours.

• The surgery is in a small converted cottage, which does not meet the minimum standards required for a modern day fit for purpose GP surgery.
• The consulting room is small, and because there is only one consulting room only one health care professional can work at any one time.
• The surgery also needs extensive modernisation for which there are no central funds.
• Elements of risk in terms of chaperoning and medical emergencies

What will change if Ketton surgery is closed?• Resources that are used at Ketton can be redirected
to the practice’s other facilities where all patients can be cared for in a modern up to date surgery with a variety of treatment rooms.
• More appointments could be available in Uppingham for all the surgery’s patients. Ketton patients would then have access to an increased number of appointments
• Uppingham Surgery would continue to provide home visiting time for patients based on clinical need.
• Organise a delivery service for repeat prescriptions for dispensing patients who have difficulties collecting their medicines from Uppingham Surgery or Barrowden.
