Noticeboard

COVID-19 VACCINE.

Please DO NOT call the surgery to ask when you will be able to receive your vaccination. Rest assured that we will contact you when we are able to vaccinate you.                                                                                                                                                                                    

 FLU VACCINATIONS

This year’s Flu Clinics will be different due to Covid-19.   You will NOT be able to just turn up as in previous years.
If you have still not had your vaccination, please contact reception to book an appointment.  We ask that you attend on your own where possible and remember to wear a face covering when you attend the appointment.                                                                                                                                                             
 Named GP

All patients registered at Barrack Lane Medical Centre hold a practice wide registration. This means you can elect to be seen at either Barrack Lane or Stoke Park site. Every patient is allocated a named GP, but this does not prevent you from seeing the clinician of your choice if they have availability. If you would like more details please contact us or ask at reception.

Keep or Cancel

Patients who do not attend for their appointments cost the National Health Service many millions of pounds each year.

If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible in order for us to give the slot to someone else.

By giving us as much notice as you can you are helping us to make sure that someone else is given your slot.

Out of Hours

For urgent advice after the surgery has closed, during the night and at weekends dial 111 for the Out of Hours Service for Suffolk. Calls to this service are free of charge from both landlines and mobiles. 

Test Results

Specimens need to be dropped in at the reception desk by 12 noon so that we can send the samples off to the laboratories.  Please ring for results after 2.30pm when the surgery is less busy.

 

Data Sharing

Important Information for Patients

 

Summary Care Record (professional healthcare use only)

A Summary Care Record is an electronic record which contains information about the medicines you take, allergies you suffer from and any adverse reactions to medicines you have had.

Having this information stored in one place makes it much easier for healthcare staff to treat you in an emergency, or when the surgery closed.

This information could make a difference to how a doctor decides to care for you, for example which medicines they choose to prescribe.

Only healthcare staff involved in your care will be able to see your Summary Care Record. 

You will always be asked before anyone accesses your record.

If you wish to opt out of this service please let reception know – but please bear in mind that information is only ever shared between healthcare professionals for your benefit.
