Not quite the New Year

Save the Children
Thank you for supporting our efforts to raise money for Save the Children. With your help we have raised £46.20 and a cheque has been sent off.

Access to your medical records
The new year will see the start of electronic access to medical records. Those of you wishing to have online access to your medical records will need to register at reception in person and with a photo ID to have this activated. You will then be issued with a pin number and password. It is your responsibility to look after and protect your own login details. We will not be providing access to patients under the age of 16 until we have safeguards in place to ensure their confidentiality.

At present registration will only allow access to medication, allergies and immunisations but in time greater access will be possible. Full access to care records is planned for 2018.  Patients will be able to record their own comments alongside the medical notes.

Passport Photos 
Did you know that GPs can no longer sign passport forms for our patients? The law changed this year and GPs are no longer on the approved list of counter signatories. A GP may not sign in our professional capacity. Your optician, pharmacist, social worker, solicitor, teacher may sign for you and a full list is available from countersigning-passport-applications

2015

May your world be filled with warmth, 

joy and good cheer…
Wishing you a Happy New Year!
