They have a busy and difficult job and act on the instructions of the doctors so please be a ‘patient patient’. All information given to them is treated in confidence and they are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the Doctors and Nurses. The more information you are able to give them the better they will be able to assist you.

Wednesday       8.00am – 6.30pm

Thursday           8.00am – 6.30pm

Emergencies – we provide 24 hour emergency cover at all times, by the Practice or Deputies. Outside surgery hours, please telephone the surgery and you will be transferred to the out of hours service. Please use this service for Medical Emergencies only. If you require health information or advice you can contact NHS Direct, which is a Nurse led service on 111 or www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk

Consultations : Due to COVID we are providing telephone triage, online (via www.peelhallmedicalpractice.co.uk) and video consultations only. If a GP requires seeing a patient they are asked to attend a face to face consultation the same day within COVID guidelines.

Disabled Access – As a purpose-built health centre we are equipped with facilities for the disabled. Access ramps, double doors and disabled facilities are available.

Chaperones – Chaperones are available on request. Please ask at reception ideally at the time of making the appointment, or during consultation.

Home visit policy Home visits are available where possible.  A GP will make the decision after a telephone consultation has been made.

A home visit by a GP is appropriate where a patient is either terminally ill or house bound – when travel by car could cause deterioration in the medical condition or unacceptable discomfort.

Situations where sometimes visiting may be useful, although an ambulance is more appropriate:

Myocardial infarction

Severe shortness of breath

Severe haemorrhage – bleeding, stroke

Situations where home visits are not deemed necessary:

*   Symptoms of fever, cold, cough, sore throat, flu, back pain, earache, headache, diarrhoea/vomiting and most cases of abdominal pain. These patients are well enough to be brought to the surgery by car.

*   Children with a temperature are not at further risk from going outdoors. They may not be well enough to walk or travel by bus but car transport would be acceptable.

*   Common problems in the elderly such as poor mobility, joint pain and generally feeling will would also be treated at the surgery where we have more resources. The exception to this is if the patient is bed bound.

*   The doctor should not be expected to spend time on a visit due to transport difficulties. Please ask for the help of friends or neighbours or consider the use of a taxi service.

Registering new patients –This can be completed online via our new website but due to COVID we advise patient not to come to the surgery to collect new patient forms. Once your details are on the computer system you are eligible for treatment. Please ensure that you have one month supply of medication from your previous GP. You will be given a 10min appointment for a health check. This is an essential requirement before your registration is complete.

Practice Area – We cover M22 and M23 postcodes.

Test results – If you need to ring the surgery to check results, please ring after 11.30am when the telephone is less busy and the receptionist has time to find if the results are available. In order to comply with patient confidentiality, results of tests may only be given over the phone to the individual for whom the test has been requested. If you wish to have a relative or representative obtain results on your behalf, you must provide written consent to the practice, preferably at the time the test is taken.

Repeat prescriptions – There are 3 ways to request repeat prescriptions:

1. Due to COVID we accepting telephone requests for prescriptions.

2. By using the app ‘Patient Access’/email please ask admin staff for details.

3. Post the computerised request slip, together with a stamped addressed envelope and we will return it to you.

Please remember to allow 2 working days for your prescription to be processed. Please note that weekends and bank holidays are not working days.

Prescription wastage – Every year the NHS counts the cost of unused or wasted medicines.

There are a number of steps that can be taken by patients to help reduce the amount of money we are wasting on medicines including:

* only ordering repeat prescriptions for the medicines you need

* check which medicines you have before ordering your next two months prescription. You may not need to order all the items on your repeat list

* tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have stopped using a medicine you still being prescribed or if you want to stop using it

* don’t hoard medicines for a rainy day or for the future

*return any unwanted medicines to the chemist for safe disposal

Services – We provide all services normally associated with general practice. Further details can be found on our website at www.peelhallmedicalpractice.co.uk

We work closely with community services such as Midwives, District Nurses, Health Visitors, Community Psychiatric Services and Drugs and Alcohol teams.

Non NHS Services – Certain services provided by your doctor are not covered by the NHS and you may be asked to pay a fee. These include:

* Pre-employment medicals

* Private medicals

* Insurance claim forms

* Private certificates/letters

* Fitness to drive medicals

* Travel cancellation forms

* Fitness to travel

Service changes and Development – The practice will continue to change its services in response to needs of the practice population and development, organisation and resources of the NHS.

Complaints/Suggestions – The practice strives to ensure that everyone receives quality care and welcomes any suggestions or comments from you as to how to improve the service. We realise that occasionally things do not go as smoothly as we would like. If you think that this has happened to you, please contact the Practice Manager so that we can help you sort the problem out.

A practice based complaints procedure is in operation, details of which can be obtained from Reception.

If you feel that you have received a high quality of care from the practice we are always pleased to be told about this and comment on the team members involved.

Medical Students/Trainees – We are a teaching practice and regularly have medical students and trainees attached to us. It’s important to them to talk to patients about their illnesses as part of their ongoing training. We would be grateful if you could help us, however, this is entirely at your discretion. Please inform us if you would rather not have a student present during your consultation.

Patient Responsibilities

1. Please let us know your name, address, telephone number, ethnicity and email address.

2. Please do everything you can to keep appointments and arrive on time. Tell us as soon as possible if you need to cancel an appointment so it can be given to somebody else.

3. Should you wish to leave a message for your doctor via the website. Please re-order medication in good time before your supply has ran out.

4. Hundreds of tests are performed every week. Please accept responsibility to contact us for the results. Once you have your results and only if the doctor advises should you make an appointment. When your tests are performed at the hospital, the results are obtained by contacting the consultant’s secretary. This will avoid unnecessary calls and appointments in surgery.

5. If you still feel you need to see a doctor to discuss details of hospital tests etc, please check we have received the reports from the hospital.

Zero-tolerance policy – Abusive or violent behaviour will not be tolerated. We operate a zero-tolerance policy on this matter and will contact the police where appropriate.
