New Partner

Join our Patient
Reference Group
We
would like to know how we can improve our services to you and how you
perceive our surgery and staff.
To help us with this, we are setting up a virtual patient
representation group so that you can have your say. We will ask
members of this representative group some questions from time to time,
such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the
care or services you received. We will contact you via e-mail
and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn't take too much of your
time.
We aim to gather around a hundred patients from as broad a spectrum as
possible to get a truly representative sample. We need young
people, workers, retirees, people with long-term conditions and people
from all ethnic groups.
If you are happy for us to contact you occasionally by e-mail please
complete all fields of the relevant form which can be collected from
reception or printed off from this link:
Join our Patient Reference Group Please, then, return the
completed form to the practice, at reception or by post.
We will be in touch when we receive your form.
Please note that no medical information or questions will be
responded to via this form. Please contact your GP in the usual
way to discuss medical concerns.
We should be very grateful for your assistance. |

Travelling
overseas?
Don't forget to think
well ahead about whether you need any travel vaccinations or malaria
tablets. Look at our
Health Links page for links to travel sites
with information about what immunisations you may need and any
necessary precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Print off a Travel Risk Assessment form (see Immunisations on the
Services page) to complete prior to making an appointment to
see one of our nurses for up-to-date advice. You should arrange
your first appointment more than a month before your intended date of
travel. Malaria tablets can be purchased from the surgery. |
Prescriptions online
Through our computer clinical software provider, EMIS, it is possible to order your repeat prescriptions online, at a time that
suits you and without having to keep on ringing back when the
dispensary telephone number is engaged. See details of how to
register for this on the
Prescriptions page. We will be able
to provide you with all the information you need to access this secure
service. Please retain this information for future use when
using EMIS Access. |
Choose and
Book
We are able to offer you a choice of hospital to be
referred to should you need specialist advice. Please advise your doctor, at the time of your consultation, which
hospital you wish to be referred to.
After the booking has been made you will, shortly after, receive a
letter giving details of the appointment. Included in the letter
are details of how to change the appointment if the original date is
inconvenient for you. This is for some routine, outpatient
appointments, only. |
