You can read the benefits of My Care Record by selecting our 'Care Data' tab at the bottom of the page. Here you can also access the Opt Out form if desired.

This is not about sharing your record. It’s about health and care clinicians and professionals accessing and viewing relevant and appropriate information relevant to your care and treatment. You can learn more by visiting www.mycarerecord.org.uk

ACCESSING YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS

We are encouraging all patients to register to use EMIS Access

Once registered, you will:

• Be able to view your results (if analysed locally)
• Be able to book/cancel appointments
• Be able to order your repeat medication (please allow 48hrs)
• Be able to view all aspects of your medical records including immunisations (if added electronically)

All of the above means, that you will have instant access to your medical records wherever you are, this will minimise your need to contact the Surgery.

Partners in Care

Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice offering are always heading in the same direction.

Access 

Consulting and treatment rooms are available on the ground floor for ease of access and appropriate toilet facilities are also available.

Patients with Disabilities

If you are registered blind or deaf, visually impaired or have difficulty hearing - please ensure you make any member of staff or GP aware, so this can be noted on your medical records.

Serving You

We are proud to share with you our recent CQC inspection report - click  CQC Inspection report 2016 Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.

Patient Participation Group

The Patient Participation Group (PPG) exists to ensure that the patients’ views on all matters relating to our health and well-being are fully represented to the Practice.

To do this, we want to hear from people about their experiences, views, and ideas for making services better.

There is a suggestion and comments box on reception and patients can join the PPG, which meets in the evening once a month.

If you are interested in joining the PPG or have any suggestions or comments you would like the PPG to discuss please contact the Chair Jack Alvarez on ppgsmc@gmail.com
