National Patient Survey

 

We will be asking all patients attending the surgery throughout a week in February to complete the National Survey on the Practice.

 

Patients will be given a questionnaire with a prepaid reply envelope to post the completed questionnaires to Bolton Council for analysis.

 

We would like to thank patients in advance for completing the survey and will post the details of the response on our website, newsletter and surgery notice boards.

 

Nurses Appointments

We are now able to offer patients nursing appointments from 7.00am every Wednesday morning and until 7.00pm on Thursday evening.

Nursing appointments are now available online. 

 

The appointment system will show what is available, for example a routine blood pressure check. If you need something else, or several different things, please contact the Surgery, so we may ask you what you need and make you an appointment of the correct length.

Types available are children's vaccinations, contraceptive injections, HPV vaccination against cervical cancer, BP checks, diabetes reviews (make sure you book your blood test in advance).  

For contraceptive pill checks please ring for an appointment so your prescription can be signed by a Dr before you attend.

MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

If you require a medical for your job, insurance or driving licence we are able to offer appointments outside the normal surgery times to complete any tests and paperwork.  This service is available for our patients or if you are registered elsewhere. Telephone for details. 

PRIVATE LETTER AND FORMS

Any requests for letter or forms (deemed as Non-NHS) that need to be completed by a doctor will incur a charge, ask the receptionist for details.

By updating your address, telephone and email, we will be able to contact you more quickly with any important information. Please use the link at the bottom of the page

Order Your Repeat Prescription Online

Repeat Medication2pills

If you are on long-term medication, you will be given a prescription re-ordering slip. This allows you to request repeat medication without seeing the doctor every time. Repeat medication is normally issued in a quantity to provide one or two months' supply. After a specified number of repeats, you will be required to see the doctor or the nurse for review or any monitoring tests to ensure that all is well before further prescriptions are issued.

If you run out of medication we will do our best to issue you with a prescription as soon as possible.  We cannot guarantee that the prescription will be ready the same day as it is requested.  Please make sure you have adequate supplies.

The repeat prescription slip should be posted in the WHITE POST BOX in the main waiting room. Please allow 2 working days for your prescription, see the prescription leaflet below, for details of the timetable of when a prescription will be ready, and ensure your contact details are up to date. This allows us to let you know if an appointment is necessary for a review or check up. 

Acute (see below) prescriptions or expired repeats will not necessarily be printed without a review

Alternatively, you can either post or fax the slip to us (fax number is 495485), ticking the items that you require. If you post it and enclose a stamped, addressed envelope we will post your repeat prescription back to you.

We do NOT accept orders for repeat prescriptions by telephone, this is a national recommendation for patient safety.

Acute Prescriptions

If the item is not on your printed slip it was an acute or one-off prescription, these should not normally be ordered without being seen.  If you add an item to your repeat list we will need contact details to organise a review.
