UPDATE FOR PATIENTS FROM IVY COURT SURGERY
Dr David Dodds Retirement 31/03/2021
To all my dear patients,
After just over 33 years at Ivy Court Surgery I have decided to retire from the partnership. It has been a privilege to have spent all my professional life in General Practice here in Tenterden looking after my patients.
I would like to thank you all for enhancing my experience in such a wonderful part of the world. I feel truly spoilt.
I wish you all the best of health over the coming years. Certainly this past year has been a challenge to everyone and I thank you all for coping so well with all the trials and tribulations that have been thrown at you.
Moving into the new Ivy Court fills me with great hope for the future. I am sure the surgery will continue to provide outstanding care for you all.
The Practice will keep you informed as to who your new caring doctor will be in the near future.
Best wishes and thank you
David Dodds

Updates to Surgery Operating during Covid-19
Due to the surge in Covid-19 cases locally we are making some temporary changes to how the surgery will function. At present we do not know when these measures can be lifted, but are grateful for your ongoing support.
1. Please could all patients wear a mask when attending – unless you have a medical exemption certificate. This will avoid any embarrassment of being turned away from the door.
2- You may find that some tests/procedures are being postponed until March. These are tests your doctor has reviewed and deemed not immediately urgent and so safe to be delayed.
We are grateful for your understanding and hope that as the vaccination programme accelerates we can all hope to move on from this in the near future.
With our best wishes.
COVID-19 Vaccination Update
Please THINK before calling the surgery with queries about COVID19 Vaccinations. Can you find the information you need online?
Our phonelines are currently being blocked due to calls about COVID19 vaccination which we are not able to help you with.
The criteria for who gets a vaccine when are nationally set. We cannot change these. We are aware of the criteria and are working to them. We will contact you when and if we have vaccine availability for you.
The criteria for priority for vaccines is available at the link below.
