Help us to help you

To Aid Us In Providing The Best Care We Can To All Of Our Patients, We Ask All Patients To Remember Their Responsibilities

  1. There should be courtesy and mutual respect between patients and members of the practice team.
  2. Please endeavour to arrive on time for your appointment. If you are late you may have to wait or be asked to re-book for another time.
  3. If you cannot attend your appointment or no longer need to be seen, contact the surgery to cancel with as much notice as possible.
  4. Please understand that in a single 15-minute appointment we can see only one patient, and can usually only deal with one problem.
  5. Please do not bring long-standing problems to urgent appointment slots. If you do, the doctor may have to ask you to re-book for a routine follow-up.
  6. Some patients may need more consultation time than has been allocated, particularly in urgent surgeries - please be understanding if this occurs and the doctor is running late.
  7. Evening surgery is by appointment only - if you know you have a problem that needs to be dealt with on the same day, please ring before morning surgery closes at 11.00.
  8. If you need to request a home visit please try to call before 11.00 so that the doctors can plan visits around booked surgeries for the day. This avoids delays for everyone.
  9. Please do not consume food on the surgery premises. Please turn off your mobile phone. SMOKING, ALCOHOL AND DRUGS ARE EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN.
  10. Please treat other patients in the surgery with the courtesy and respect you would expect to receive yourself.

Comments, Suggestions and Complaints

If you have any suggestions about how we can improve our service, or any concerns about the service you have received, please put them in writing to: The Practice Manager, Queens Road Partnership, 387 Queens Road, New Cross Gate, London SE14 5HD. A leaflet is available from reception giving full details of our in-house complaints procedure.

We also have a suggestion box in the main waiting area at the 387 site. Please leave your name and contact details so we can give you feedback.

Registration And Administration

All newly registered patients should provide NHS number, immunisation details (children under 6) and information about smear tests (women). Please make sure you keep us informed of your current address and contact telephone numbers including a mobile number if you have one. If mail that has been sent to you comes back returned, you will be removed from our practice list and your records sent back to the Health Authority.

Patient Confidentiality and Data Protection

We ask you for personal information so that you can receive appropriate care and treatment. This information is recorded on computer and we are registered under the Data Protection Act. The practice will ensure that patient confidentiality is maintained at all times by all members of the practice team. However, for the effective functioning of a multi-disciplinary team it is sometimes necessary that medical information about you is shared between members of the practice team.

Freedom Of Information – Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges the practice to produce a Publication Scheme. A Publication Scheme is a guide to the ‘classes’ of information the practice intends to routinely make available. This scheme is available from reception.


Sick Notes
Under Government sick pay regulations:
1. No certificate is required for illnesses of three days or less.
2. A self-certificate form should be completed if the illness lasts for four to seven days (including Saturday and Sunday). These are available from your place of work.
If the illness lasts more than seven days, you will need to obtain a "Fitness To Work" Certificate from your doctor.
If your employer requires a doctor’s certificate for an absence of less than seven days, then we may supply a private one for which there will be a charge. This can only be supplied if you saw a doctor when you were unwell.

Fees
Certain services provided by your doctor are not covered by the NHS and you will be asked to pay a fee, eg pre-employment medicals, insurance claims, holiday certificates, private medicals, private certificates, fitness to drive medicals etc. We also act as examiners for several life insurance companies. Should we be asked to examine you for their purposes the company will be responsible for the fee.
