If you require urgent medical assistance, please call NHS 111. Thank you.AYTON AND SNAINTON MEDICAL PRACTICEThe last few months have been a time of enormous change for all of us at the practice, shifting over a weekend to a total phone access system as advised by NHS England and updating our protocols daily as guidance has changed. We are proud of how all our staff have accepted these changes and adapted over the weeks as guidance has been changed again and again. We are grateful for how all our patients have been understanding of the difficult situation we are working in.As the world is starting to return to normal we are also now returning to normal in that we are offering all our usual services. However we have to do this in a safe way and it is likely that it will be a long time before we are able to allow patients to book face to face appointments directly. As you can imagine the demand for appointments is increasing even beyond usual levels and we are no longer able to routinely offer same day appointments as we did during lockdown! We have a few new things in place to try to help manage this demand.We have some new healthcare workers who can see patients with specific problems. Becky, one of our nurses, is training to be an advanced clinical practitioner and she is able to see patients with simple health problems such as urine infections. We also have two first contact physios, Jackie and Pete. They are able to see adults with a wide range of musculoskeletal problems such as joint injuries or back pain.We also now have another way of contacting us that can be used any time of day - digital access which can be used for clinical or administrative queries. This is accessed via the practice website. You will be guided through a few of questions related to your query. Queries submitted before 2pm will receive a response that day. If submitted after 2pm we will respond the following day. This can used for medication queries, new health concerns or follow up of chronic problems. You may receive a response containing a treatment plan suggestion, a request for further information or a request for you to book an appointment with an appropriate clinician. It is extremely helpful if you can answer all the questions about your query as fully as possible. We are then more likely to able to deal with your issue without needing you to book an appointment.Over the coming months you may see us using text messages more for communicating with you. We are already using it regularly to request photos of skin problems and home blood pressure readings. We are looking to use texts more to feedback on actions following an appointment, to inform you that requests from hospital appointments have been carried out or to ask you to book review appointments. You will be able to respond once to a text message so if you would like a phone call to discuss any matter further that can easily be arranged. Please ensure that we have up to date contact details for you.If you have had blood tests or scans it is possible to check your results on your online medical record, please speak to reception if you require your access details. Alongside the result there will be a comment from the GP explaining what if anything is abnormal and what needs to be done.Our receptionists will continue to be available during usual surgery times if you do not have internet access or prefer to contact us by phone but it is likely that they will ask you for a few more details about your health issue to ensure that your problem is dealt with by the right person at the right time. If you prefer not to share details this is still ok but you should be aware that our receptionists are bound by the same level of confidentiality as our doctors and nurses.I do hope that you will bear with us as we cope with high demand for our services whilst trying to implement these changes that we hope will ensure patients can continue to access our services easily in the months to come.Coronavirus - Useful LinksPlease scroll down our home page to read our latest guidance.Spring Newsletter 2020Click here to view our recent newsletter.Help fight COVID-19 - TrialThe NHS is trying to recruit patients to a trial for those with symptoms of COVID-19.
