Freedom Of Information – Publication Scheme
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges the practice to produce a Publication Scheme. A Publication Scheme is a guide to the ‘classes’ of information the practice intends to routinely make available.
This scheme is available from reception.
Illness And Disease Prevention
Various health promotion and illness prevention clinics are held at the health centre and are run by the practice nurse.
Clinics cover well woman, well man, blood pressure, dietary advice, asthma, diabetes and coronary heart disease.
Practice Attachments
Within the health centre the doctor has access to chiropody, dietary advice, speech therapy, physiotherapy, health visiting, district nursing and specialist midwifery.
Private Insurance
We are happy to make referrals into the private sector if required. However, please note that we are unable to sign insurance claim forms if we have not been previously involved in the referral. As it is non-NHS work there is a charge for this service according to BMA recommended guidelines.
Charges
Charges may be made for services to patients which are not available on the NHS such as private medical certificates, private insurance claim forms and various types of medical examinations to name but a few.
The receptionists will inform you of these charges, which follow BMA recommendations. A list is displayed at reception for your information.
Additional Services
The doctors are available for maternity medical services, contraceptive services and minor surgery, by appointment. A full immunisation service and cervical cytology call and recall system is in operation.
Zero Tolerance
We strongly support the NHS policy on zero tolerance. Anyone attending the surgery who abuses the GPs, staff or other patients be it verbally, physically or in any threatening manner whatsoever, will risk removal from the practice list. In extreme cases we may summon the police to remove offenders from the practice premises.
