Noticeboard

13.06.2023
After a 2 year battle we are very pleased to inform you all that we have secured funding for a new telephone system and provider. We know this will come as great relief to many of you as well as relief to the staff answering the phones as access via the phone system has been less than acceptable.
We have a go live date of Thursday this week.
We have made some changes to help with the flow of calls - namely there will be no separate options for Woodlands or Middle Chare. It will be one line in and any free lines will ring. There will also be a call back option so you don't have to wait on the line. We are not promising this will solve all the access problems but we are certainly expecting it to help.
We will have technicians available on both sites on Thursday and Friday to help with any teething problems that we may have.
Constructive feedback will be extremely helpful to us during the process and after we have switched over so we know what other improvements we can make.
Many thanks for your cooperation an patience.

Care Data

your care dataInformation about you and the care you receive is shared, in a secure system, by healthcare staff to support your treatment and care.

It is important that we, the NHS, can use this information to plan and improve services for all patients. We would like to link information from all the different places where you receive care, such as your GP, hospital and community service, to help us provide a full picture. This will allow us to compare the care you received in one area against the care you received in another, so we can see what has worked best.

Information such as your postcode and NHS number, but not your name, will be used to link your records in a secure system, so your identity is protected. Information which does not reveal your identity can then be used by others, such as researchers and those planning health services, to make sure we provide the best care possible for everyone.

You have a choice. If you are happy for your information to be used in this way you do not have to do anything. If you have any concerns or wish to prevent this from happening, please speak to practice staff or download the opt out form below, complete it and return it to the practice

We need to make sure that you know this is happening and the choices you have.
