New
Telephone Number for the Surgery
Having listened to the views of our patients, Dr Batty and Partners are
pleased to announce that a new telephone system is due to be installed in April
2012.
The existing 0844 telephone number will be replaced with a new local
number (01235).
The system, along with the new local telephone number, is due to be up
and running by the end of April.
Please look out for further information as we get nearer to its
‘go-live’ date.
The way
the NHS manages your health records is Changing
If you need care in an emergency or when your GP practice is closed,
you may need to see a doctor or nurse who doesn’t know you.
You will shortly be receiving through the post information about the
National Summary Care Record and the local Oxfordshire Care Summary. These are electronic records of limited
medical information about individuals that can help to ensure people receive
safer, faster care in an emergency. They
can give authorised healthcare professionals quicker access to reliable
information about you, to help with your treatment.
Please look out for the leaflet that will be posted to you and consider
the information it contains. If you are
happy to be included in the scheme you do not need to take any action. The leaflet will tell you what to do if you
do not want to be included in the scheme.
