Patient Survey
Thank you to all our patients who completed our recent Patient Survey. We are collating the results and they will be avilable in the near future.
20 January 2012
Appointments
On 1st December 2010, we changed our appointment system following patients' suggestions and comments.
These revised arrangements allow routine appointments to be booked up to 4 weeks in advance for the doctor of your choice (subject to availability). Also, we are able to offer telephone consulations with a specific doctor (subject to availablity).
In addition, appoinments are available from 8.30am each day - for these appointments patients will be advised on arrival at the Surgery which doctor they will be seeing.
We continue to offer late night appointments on Monday, Tuesday and alternate Thursdays (up to 6.45pm with effect from Monday 18 April 2011).
Please help the receptionists by providing your full name, date of birth and telephone number.
As these revised arrangements have been in place for 12 months and we are reviewing our appointments set-up (December 2011) , we are keen to hear how the revised appointments availablity is working for our patients: we welcome patients' comments and feedback either to John Roughton, Asst. Practice Manager, or alternatively via e-mail to John.Roughton@gp-c84016.nhs.uk

General Practice Research Database (GPRD)
This practice is proud to contribute data to the General Practice Research Database (GPRD)
GPRD is the world’s largest and most extensively used database of its kind. It is used internationally for research into disease, drug safety and public health.
Patients’ records from hundreds of practices in the UK are made anonymous so that research users cannot identify the patients or the practices. Added together, these anonymous records provide a vast amount of information for medical research.
