Surgery Updates
E-Consult
We’re excited to announce that from April 21st you will be able to use our 24/7 on line consultation system e consult through which you can submit all administrative enquiries, ask advice from our GPs including appointment requests, get fit notes, answers to prescription queries and test results on line. You will get a response from the doctor or surgery before the end of the next working day. This will mean no more waiting on the end of the phone, ease of use at a time that suits you, and an assured response to your queries. Just open up the e-consult tab on our website and it will direct you through a number of easy to answer questions. Self help information will also be available through this service. Your enquiry will go directly to the practice and will be processed according to the need but you will get a response before the end of the next working day.

Important information for ladies aged 68-71 not receiving invitations for breast cancer screening (as seen on the news)
All women affected will now be contacted by letter by the end of May and those under 72 will receive an appointment for a catch-up mammogram.
Women aged over 72 can contact a helpline to talk through the pros and cons of having breast screening – scans in older women sometimes pick up cancers which do not require treatment.
What to do if you’re affected?
- Call the breast screening helpline number 0800 169 2692
- Go the NHS Choices website for more information
- You should receive a letter by the end of May
The NHS has introduced an electronic record called the Summary care record (SCR), which will be used to support your emergency care. Please see www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk or email pals@nhs.uk for more information or ask at the surgery for a leaflet that will give you more information and your choices about having a Summary Care Record.
