Medical Research

As part of this practice's contribution to medical research, we provide completely anonymised patient treatment information to certain reputable third party organisations. No individual is ever identified from the information and we all, as potential patients, stand to benefit from this work. If you would like more information please contact our practice manager.

Teenagers

Contraceptive and sexual health advice is available by appointment. Absolute confidentiality is assured and appointments can be booked without disclosing the nature of your problem to the receptionist.

We offer a full contraceptive and emergency contraceptive service.

Referral Management

When you and your doctor agree that you need an appointment with a specialist, a system known as 'Choose and Book' will be used which shows your doctor which hospitals or clinics are available for your treatment. Your doctor will discuss with you the clinically appropriate options which are available for treating your medical condition. (Please note: in order to provide the fastest possible transmission method, referral information may be sent electronically via the NHS Spine (a private, secure and confidential NHS internet). However, if you do not wish this electronic method to be used you can advise the practice accordingly and your referral will be sent in the post.)
If you have already decided where and when you would like to be seen, you may be able to book your appointment before you leave the surgery. You will be given confirmation of the place, date and time of your appointment.
On the other hand, you may want more time to consider your choices. If so, you can take the appointment request letter away with you and book your appointment later.
In some cases you will need to telephone your chosen hospital directly to make your appointment. This is because that hospital's computer does not link to Choose and Book. This will, however, change over time as the old hospital computers are replaced with new ones.
