PATIENT REFERENCE GROUP

WE NEED THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS OF OUR REGISTERED PATIENTS

Would you like to have a say about the services provided by North Curry Health Centre and the local NHS Service?

We are seeking to increase the members of the Patient Reference Group within the registered patient list which we can contact on an ongoing basis. This would enable the Health Centre to survey the views and opinions of its patients and have a collated collective opinion available when representing its Patient List.

By providing your e-mail details we can add them to a contact list that will mean we can contact you via email every now and again to seek your views and opinions.

IMPORTANT NEWS

OUR APPOINTMENT SYSTEM

  HELP US TO HELP YOU 

We are aware that, with increasing demand, some patients have been finding it difficult to get an appointment within an appropriate timescale, despite increasing the number of doctor and nurse hours within the practice.

When you call for a doctor’s appointment, you will be asked whether your need is:

“URGENT, ACUTE OR ROUTINE”

An Urgent Appointment is something that really must be dealt with the same day because of its severity or risk to the patient.

An Acute Appointment is for a new problem or deterioration in an existing problem that really needs to be assessed and managed within 1-3 working days.

A Routine Appointment is for something where timescale is less important such as a medication review or review of a long term condition.

In order to help categorise your appointment, and ensure you see the most appropriate person, the receptionist may ask you if you can share the nature of the problem or issue. Please be assured that this information will be treated confidentially.

Routine appointments should be available for several months ahead, so that you can plan ahead and arrange a time that is most convenient for you. They will be available by telephone, but also available to book using the on-line access system. Urgent and Acute appointments should be made by telephone.

Booking Appointments On-line

As one of our patient's you are able to book appointments on-line.  Due to the complexity of nursing appointments, currently it is only possible to book blood test and blood pressure appointments.

If you wish to book appointments on-line, you will first need to register to access this service.  This is a simple process and you will only be required to do this once.  Please bring two proofs of ID to the practice, a drivers licence or passport, together with a utility bill, bank statement or other official proof of residence less than three months old to the reception desk.  The receptionist will register you onto the on-line booking system and provide you with a PIN number.  Once you have this information you will have access to on-line booking from home.

Appointments can also be cancelled using this facility.
