4. PRACTICE PROFILE • Heaton Moor Medical Centre is a combination of three practices with a combined patient list of 30,000 patients - Heaton Moor Medical Centre, Dean Lane Surgery in Hazel Grove and Little Moor Surgery in Offerton. Our Doctors and large support teams offer a varied range of services to our patients. • Heaton Moor Medical Centre opened in 1971 taking in just six Doctors originally. The practice was totally renovated and extended in 1994 and extended again in 2002, 2009 and more recently in 2016. • We are an innovative Practice and we are always looking for ways to improve our services for patients, through participation in pilots for new ways of providing care, as well as adapting to feedback and suggestions from patients. A TRAINING PRACTICE • The Practice participates in the advanced training of fully qualified Doctors who have chosen to specialise in General Practice. • The additional Doctors (Doctor Registrars) work at the Practice for up to one year and share all aspects of medical care with the Partners and salaried Doctors. • During their time here, we hope you will view them as we do, an integral part of our team. • We also occasionally have student Doctors and nurses attached to the Practice. You will be advised accordingly, and if you wish to see the Doctor or nurse alone, your wishes will be respected.

5. HOME VISITS • In order to provide a good service to all our patients we request that home visits are only requested by patients who are too ill to come to the surgery. • Routine Home Visits are usually in the afternoon, after Doctors have finished morning surgery. • To request a Home Visit please call the Surgery on (0161) 432 0671, before 10:00am, Monday to Friday, except in an emergency. HOW TO REGISTER • If you wish to register with the Practice please attend the Practice and ask the Receptionist for a registration form. They can advise of any documentation you may need to register. SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION • Personal information about patients will be shared within the healthcare team, including administrative staff and other staff who support the provision of their care. COMPLAINTS • In the unlikely event that you do not feel completely satisfied with your health care provided by the surgery, we would ask that you telephone the surgery to speak to the Practice Manager or Supervisor who will be able to assist you in your concern. If you wish to make a formal complaint then you should write to the Practice Manager detailing your complaint. ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR • We have a zero tolerance policy to violent or abusive behaviour within the Practice.

6. SUMMARY CARE RECORD What is the Summary Care Record? The NHS in England is using an electronic record called the Summary Care Record to support patient care. All the settings where you receive healthcare keep their own medical records about you. These places can often only share information from your records by letter, fax or phone. At times, this can delay information sharing and this can affect decision making and slow down treatment. About your Summary Care Record • Your Summary Care Record contains important information about any medicines you are taking, any allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines that you have previously experienced. • Allowing authorised healthcare professionals to have access to this information will improve decision making by doctors and other healthcare professionals and has prevented mistakes being made when patients are being cared for in different care settings. • Your Summary Care Record also includes your name, address, date of birth and your unique NHS Number to help identify you correctly. Every patient is automatically opted into Summary Care Record unless they have opted out with their previous GP Surgery. However, when registering with the Practice, you can choose to opt out by asking for an OPT-OUT form at Reception and filling in the form for each person in your family. For more information on Summary Care Record, you can access it on:-systems.hscic.gov.uk/scr/patients‎

7. ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION STANDARD • The Practice normally communicates with patients via letter for routine needs and telephone calls for urgent matters. • The Accessible Information Standard applies to patients who have information or communication needs relating to a disability, impairment or sensory loss. • It also applies to parents and carers of patients who have such information or communication needs, where appropriate. • Individuals most likely to be affected by the Standard include people who are blind or deaf, who have some hearing or visual loss, people who are deafblind and people with a learning disability. • If you need help communicating with us, please let us know and we can discuss your needs. • For example: • We can send your letters in large print. • We have an induction loop system fitted. • We offer online appointment booking. • This list is not exhaustive, please discuss your needs with us. • VIEWING YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS ONLINE • The Surgery has a clinical system (EMIS Web) that, through a website, allows patients to easily and quickly view their electronic medical information held about them by their GP Practice, order repeat medication and book appointments online. • You can now use the internet to securely view your appointments, test results, immunisations and your medical history, including current and past medication. • If you wish to view your Medical Records online, you will need to ask at Reception for information on this. • Your information will not be made available without your permission. If you decide not to join, or wish to withdraw, it will not affect your treatment in any way. • *Once patients reach the age of 12 they are generally regarded as being "Gillick Competent" - meaning that they are able to make their own informed decisions about healthcare (sometimes with adult support). At this stage we are obliged to remove parental "proxy" online access and ask the young person to re-register themselves - this is in some circumstances, to protect their privacy if they wish to do so.
