Hello,
We are encouraging patients to give their views about how the practice is doing. We would like to be able to find out the opinions of as many patients as possible and are asking if people would like to provide their email addresses so we can contact you by email every now and again to ask you a question or two on specific topics.
Are you interested in leaving your email details?
If you could complete and return this quick form (or provide your details over the phone to me) we will add your email address to a contact list.
Your contact details will only be used for this purpose and will be kept safely.
Thank you
Christina Rayner
Practice Manager
From 1st April 2015 GP practices are required to inform patients of a named GP accountable for their care. As all of our patients are registered with Dr Rex Obonna, he will be your named GP.
Please note that this does not prevent you from seeing any of the GPs or locums who may visit the practice from time to time as you currently do.
From 1 April 2015 summary information from your medical record will be uploaded to the Summary Care Record (SCR) section of the NHS National Spine.
This is now part of the GP Contract. If we do not comply we would be in breach of our contract and would potentially not be allowed to provide services to our patients.
The information being uploaded includes details of your current medication and any known allergies and adverse reactions. This is uploaded on the basis of your implied consent. Additional information can only be uploaded with your explicit consent.
The SCR will only be viewed by other Health Care Professionals (HCPs) in an emergency or urgent care setting with your explicit consent unless you are unable to give it (for example if you are unconscious).
You are able to opt out at any time, to do this you would need to complete an opt-out form available at the surgery.
