The face of general practice is changing and with other healthcare professionals joining our team this is a big change for our patients but we hope with increasing our range of experts and our reception team signposting to the most appropriate healthcare professional we will be able to provide an increased number of appointments with experts, other than GPs, who are better able serve the patient. Action Plan: • Telephone requests; when a patient rings in to speak with a GP, our reception staff will try, where possible, to provide a telephone slot with the patients preferred GP if the request is routine. If the patient needs to speak to a GP urgently, as most of our GP’s work part-time, this may not always be possible to be with their preferred GP. • Results (X Rays or bloods); when reviewing results GPs are asked to specify if the patient needs to speak to a named GP or whether they can speak to any GP and to note if the telephone appointment is routine or urgent. Ideally the GP who has requested an investigation should be discussing the results with the patient to ensure continuity of care. ______________________________________________________________ Brockwood Medical Practice – The Surgery, Tanners Meadow, Brockham, Surrey, RH3 7NJ Tel: 01737 843259 Fax: 01737 845184 North Holmwood Surgery – Tel: 01306 885802 Newdigate Surgery – Tel: 01306 631242 Email: [email protected] www.brockwoodmedicalpractice.nhs.uk BROCKWOOD MEDICAL PRACTICE Dr J D Richards Dr J R Thompson Dr L E Rawson Dr T A Sevenoaks Dr R P Gupta Dr A G Brett We offer our patients: • We have three sites and are able to offer our patients as much choice as we possibly can within the remit of appointments available (we are aware that not all patients are able to travel between sites which will reduce the choice available to them) • We aim to offer all patients an emergency appointment on the day • We offer appointments with our clinical pharmacist, Sameera Mir, who is available to see patients to help with medication queries, medication reviews, give advice and treat high blood pressure and cholesterol • We offer appointments with MSK (musculoskeletal) physiotherapists who are able to see patients with problems such as bone, joint or muscle related problems – painful neck, back, knees, ankles, muscle aches, joint pains and stiffness.
