Denmark Road Medical Centre Practice Information Booklet

Denmark Road Medical Centre Practice Information Booklet
We are a well-established practice; looking after approximately 8200 patients.
Running an appointment only system, we have two full time partner doctors:
Dr Nigel Cowley (Senior Partner) and Dr Kerstin Smith. We also have 4 GP
Associates: Dr Emily Monks, Dr Miriam Santer, Dr Rupesh Seth and Dr Mike
Furze. Our current GP Registrar is Dr Jasvinder Kandola.
You may book an appointment to see any of our Doctors at this Practice.
Named GP - All Patients at this practice are allocated a named GP (this is your
registered GP). You are still able/welcome to book appointment with any GP of
your choice but your registered GP is responsible for your overall care. Should
you wish to know who this is please ask at reception.
We aim to consult with patients for routine problems within 24 hours of the
request being made. This may be via telephone consultation initially. We do
not use an automated phone answering service. Believing in traditional values
of family medicine, we simply aim to provide our patients with the best
possible care.
We are involved in research and committed to continuous nurse training. We
are also a training practice for future GP’s. As such you may be asked to take
part in a video surgery. All patients will be given the opportunity to decline
such a consultation; consents are obtained from those patients wishing to
assist with this form of training.
Disabled patients are catered for through the practice having a large car park,
with easy, flat access into the building through doorways suitable for
wheelchairs. There is an intercom buzzer for those patients who experience
difficulty with the doors. Patient documentation and reception is carried out at
custom-made reception desks. A separate room is available (on request) for
wheelchair bound patients and those seeking a more discreet area for
discussion in privacy. Disabled toilet facilities are available.
We have ample free car parking and additional parking, if necessary, is
available in Denmark Road.

minutes or more past their appointed time, the reception staff will
ensure that individual patients are informed of the reason for the
delay, or offer an alternative appointment if the patient cannot wait.
Any patients waiting longer than an hour after their appointment

reason.

Newly Registered Patients: All newly registered patients are able to attend
a health screening examination.

tetanus immunisations. Flu vaccinations are available each autumn, free of
charge, to those who are at risk. To find more information about who should
have the flu jab please visit this website:
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/pages/flu-influenza-vaccine.aspx
Or please ring reception for details. Each person should have a course of

Practice Newsletter
Dr Cowley is editor of our monthly newsletter ‘The Denmark Doctor’
available from the reception desk. The publication contains topical information,
quizzes, anecdotes, practice information and a biased analysis of the politics of
the National Health Service.
Patient Participation Group
Would you like to help … ‘to advise and assist the Denmark Road
Practice in its aim to provide the best possible care for its patients’?
If so then the Denmark Road Patient Group would be delighted to meet you!
For those who are not familiar with the Patient Group, a group of patients
from all different realms of life, meet every 2 months in a meeting room at the
surgery for about an hour in the evening. The group are there to act as a
sounding board for the practice, and a means of receiving and providing
feedback from and on behalf of the patients at Demark Road Medical Centre.
The practice may bring forward issues, ideas or concerns to the Patient Group,
where they are discussed in some detail before they are implemented. This is
a great forum and medium for those concerned with giving the ‘Patients’ a
voice: opening up a dialogue between the practice and its patients. It is not a
fund-raising body or a complaints body; however, we can and do make a
difference to the practice in many ways.
If you are interested in joining our ‘merry band’ please ask your GP for more
details or contact the Chairperson of the PPG by leaving your contact details
with the Practice Secretary who will put the Chairperson in touch with you.
We look forward to seeing you!
If you would like to contribute but cannot commit to meetings, please join our
e-mail contact list. You will only be asked questions about the practice and
what we can do to improve those services, with an occasional questionnaire.
Please e-mail us on: [email protected]

POLICY FOR REMOVAL OF PATIENTS FROM PRACTICE LIST
Purpose
The Denmark Road Medical Centre aims to provide the best possible health
care for their patients. However there may be circumstances when it would be
considered reasonable, or in the best interests of the patient, to remove
patients from the list.
The purpose of this policy, therefore, is to define the practice guidelines as to
when it is reasonable to remove a patient from the practice list and to ensure
that any concerns about removing patients from the list are dealt with fairly.
Situations which justify removal
Violence
Crime & Deception
Distance
Irretrievable Breakdown of the Doctor-Patient Relationship
Procedure for Removal
Violence / Crime and Deception
Any incident involving violence, crime or deception will be reported to the
Practice Manager, who will complete an incident report and bring to the
attention of the practice partners.
Each individual case will be discussed at a Practice Meeting and a majority
agreement will be reached.
Following agreement, the practice manager will write to the patient and
explain the reasons for their removal.
The exception to this is if a patient has to be reported to the police for violent
behaviour towards any member of the practice staff when s/he may be
immediately removed.
Distance
On notification that the patient is no longer living within the practice
boundary, a letter will be sent to the patient advising of their need to reregister with another Doctor within the next 30 days.
- 11 -
If the patient has not re-registered, or contacted the surgery with a
reasonable explanation, within the 30 day period, they will be removed from
the practice list.
Guidance on removing patients due to irretrievable breakdown of the
doctor - patient relationship
Occasionally patients persistently act inconsiderately and their behaviour falls
outside that which is normally considered to be reasonable. In such
circumstances there may be a complete breakdown in the doctor-patient
relationship.
A more detailed copy of this Policy is available from the Practice Manager
The Partners at the Denmark Road Medical Centre re-affirm their commitment
to do everything possible to protect staff, patients and visitors from
unacceptable behaviour and their zero tolerance of any incident that causes
hurt, alarm damage or distress.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION
Please be assured that the confidential nature of consultations and records is
respected at all times.
The practice adheres to NHS guidelines in respect of patient information and is
registered under the Data Protection Act.
How we keep your records confidential and secure:
Everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you
confidential and secure.
You may be receiving care from other organisations as well as the NHS (like
Social Services). We may need to share some information about you so as we
can all work together for your benefit.
We will only ever use or pass on information about you if others involved in
your care have a genuine need for it. When we pass on any information we
will ensure it is kept confidential and secure.
- 12 -
We will not disclose your information to third parties without your permission
unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as when the health or safety
of others is at risk or where the law requires information to be passed on.
Again if we do need to disclose your information we will ensure it is kept
secure.
Anyone who receives information from us is also under a legal obligation to
keep it confidential and secure
We are required by law to report certain information to the appropriate
authorities. This is only provided after formal permission has been given by a
qualified Health Professional. Occasions when we must pass on information
include:



notification of new births
where we encounter infectious diseases which may endanger the safety of
others, such as meningitis or measles (but not HIV/AIDS)
where a formal Court Order has been issued
Our guiding principle is that we are holding your records in strict
confidence and with a high level of security
How your records are used to help the NHS
Your information may also be used to help us:

look after the health of the general public

pay your GP, Dentist and Hospital for the care they provide

audit NHS accounts and services

investigate untoward incidents or complaints

make sure our services can meet patient needs in the future

prepare statistics on NHS performance

review the care we provide to ensure it is of the highest standard

teach and train Healthcare Professionals

conduct health research and development
Where information is used for statistical purposes, stringent measures are
taken to ensure that individual patients cannot be identified. Anonymous
statistical information may also be passed to other organisations with a
- 13 -
legitimate interest, including universities, community safety units and research
institutions.
Information may be shared with:
Strategic Health Authorities
Bournemouth & Poole Hospital/Foundation Trusts
NHS Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group
General Practitioners (GP’s)
Ambulance Services
Your information may also, subject to strict agreements describing how it will
be used, be shared with:






NHS Common Services Agencies such as Dentists, Ophthalmic services and
so on
Social Services
Education Services
Local Authorities
Voluntary Sector Providers
Private Sector Providers
How we ensure your information is accurate
We also have a duty to ensure your information is accurate and up-to-date to
make certain we have the correct contact and treatment details about you.
To do this we undertake Information Quality Assurance Assessments to ensure
we deliver improvements in the quality of the information we record about
you.
How you can get access to your own health records
The Data Protection Act 1998, which came into force on 1 March 2000, allows
you to find out what information about you is held on computer and in certain
manual records. This is known as “right of subject access”. It applies to your
health records.
If you want to see them you should make a request to the NHS organisations
where you are being, or have been, treated.
If you require a copy of your GP records please contact your practice direct.
- 14 -
For primary care services offered by the DorsetHealthcare University
Foundation Trust please contact the health records manager in writing to:
11 Shelley Road, Bournemouth BH1 4JQ. You are entitled to receive a copy
but should note that a charge will usually be made. You should also be aware
that in certain circumstances your right to see some details in your health
records may be limited in your own interest or for other reasons.
Security
Please ensure that you lock your car and leave any valuables out of sight.
Please take care not to leave anything in the waiting room when you leave.
The practice cannot accept responsibility for patient’s property whilst on
surgery premises.
CARERS INFORMATION
Denmark Road Medical Centre have a named lead;- Penny Cornell, who is
responsible for the operational management of the Carer’s Register and
services provided for carers. We would like to offer carers the opportunity to
register. We will ensure that carers are offered information, services and
support information.
There is information on the screens in reception specifically for carers. There is
also some local/national information that can be taken away from the practice.
Defining a carer
A carer is someone who, without payment, provides support to a partner,
child, relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their help.
This could be due to age, physical or mental illness, addiction or disability.
Caring roles can include administering medication, lifting and handling,
personal or emotional care. A young carer is under the age of 18 and carries
out significant caring tasks and assumes a level of responsibility for another
person, which is inappropriate to their age.
When you tell us that you are caring for someone we will place your details on
our carers register so that practice staff are aware you are a carer. We will not
share this knowledge with anyone else unless you tell us that we can. We may
be able to offer you other services to help you care for your own health.
If you are giving regular and substantial help to the person that you care for,
you will be entitled to a Social Services Carers Assessment which will also give
you advice and information. You may also be entitled to practical help and
support. Contact the Social Services Department where the cared for person
lives to ask for an assessment. This is a free service.
- 15 -
New patients, please note:
Currently your GP has a computer system which holds your medical records
within your surgery.
There is system being called the Summary Care Record. Your Summary Care
Record will contain your basic medical information such as details of allergies,
current prescriptions and bad reactions/allergies to medicines. This means that
clinical staff anywhere in England can access your medical records if they need
to whilst treating you.
As a patient you have choices. You can choose not to have a Summary Care
Record or to limit what is shared, and you can change your mind at any time.
It is not mandatory for you to have a summary care record and there are a
number of choices available to you.
Most, but not all GP practices will be participating. At participating GP
practices, and if you are over 16, you will have received or will be receiving a
letter providing you with details of the service being offered and this also
explains your options. However if you are new to the practice or this area you
may not have received your letter containing all the information you need in
order to make your choice. If you do not wish to have a summary care record
you may refuse this via your GP or by going on-line at:
http://systems.digital.nhs.uk/scr/library/optout.pdf Copy and paste to browser
or by obtaining a form from reception.
In addition, a new safeguard has been added. If a healthcare professional
needs to view your summary care record your permission will be asked
beforehand unless you are unable to communicate your wishes at the point of
care. For further information on patient choices please contact the Summary
Care Project Manager on 01305 361149 or visit your GP surgery to discuss
your options with your GP or staff member. Please see enclosed information
leaflets.
