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.
