Care Navigation
When you ring to book an appointment, you might notice our Reception Team will ask you for a brief outline of how we can help you.
This is because we have introduced a new initiative called Care Navigation. It means our Reception Team has been trained to ensure they can help you to find the best service for your needs, so you can receive the right care more quickly. Anything you share with our Team will be kept confidential.
Through this specialist training, our Team will be able to direct you to the most appropriate clinician or service for your needs.
Our Reception Team will never offer clinical advice. Instead, this new way of working is about offering you the choice to see more appropriate Professionals in our Practice Team or even somewhere else. If they can deal with the problem directly, it will often be quicker and means you may not need to see a GP at all.
By working this way, it helps to free-up time for GPs to care for patients with complex or serious health conditions that can only be managed by a doctor. More importantly though, it means people are seen first by the clinician that is best placed to help you with your health needs.
Non-urgent advice: New Prescription Line Opening Hours
This is to allow us to focus on dealing with any urgent medical issues first. Please help us by complying with this decision and only phoning the prescription line between these times.
Local and NHS services
The surgery works in partnership with local and NHS service providers and groups.
Manage health services for someone else in the NHS app
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.
To requests proxy access:
- collect a proxy access form from reception from 10am to 6pm
Linked profiles in your NHS account
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
