NHS Hit by Ransomware Attack

We are aware that the NHS is experiencing problems with IT systems.

The practice has closed down most of its email system as a precautionary measure.

We remain open as normal and have access to patient records.

When we are closed ....

Ring the surgery number 01926 857331 and listen carefully to the message. Depending on the time you are calling, you will be given an alternative number to ring. Bank Holidays are covered by the NHS 111 Service (dial 111)

Ring 999 if you are concerned you have a LIFE THREATENING CONDITION. Chest pains and/or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.

For very good NON URGENT INFORMATION the http://www.patient.co.uk/ website is a goldmine for non promotional information and leaflets about a wide range of medical conditions.

Online Access TO MEDICAL RECORDS

The practice now offers patients the facility to view on line information from their medical record relating to medications, problems, test requests, allergies, adverse reactions and vaccinations.

Named accountable GP for all patients - As of 1st April practices are required to allocate a named accountable GP to all patients including children. At our practice we do this by way of a 'usual doctor' which is allocated on registration. If you are unclear who your named accountable GP is you can ask for this information when you call in or telephone. If you feel you would like a different GP to be allocated to you then this again can be requested and we will do our best to accommodate that. You are still free to see any GP and in particular when a different GP may have a sooner or more convenient appointment for your needs. You may also be required to see or speak to alternative GPs particularly in urgent situations or if a home visit is required.
