  2. WELCOME TO WOOD LANE MEDICAL CENTRE Our approach to your healthcare Wood Lane Medical Centre aims to deliver the very best care to you and your family. We have a committed clinical team whose aim is to provide the highest level of service to our practice population. The Doctors and Nurses are supported by a Practice Manager and administrative team including our experienced reception staff - an important first point of contact for patients. GP Networking Wood Lane Medical Centre is one of a group of 12 surgeries in the area working to deliver extended services and raise standards of care by working together for the benefits of the patients. We recognise that practices have to change to rise to the challenges of an ageing population and a shifting disease pattern. Please ask reception or visit our website for full details on how to register with us. If you want to register with us please check our website www.woodlanesurgery.nhs.uk to make sure you live within our catchment area.

  5. Nurse Practitioners The Nurse Practitioners’ main role is to see patients on the day that may have an acute episode of an illness. These patients have normally spoken to a doctor in a telephone consultation and will be given an emergency appointment that day. Nurse Practitioners are able to assess, examine, diagnose and prescribe for most patients. Should they have any concerns about a patient they will speak to a doctor for further advice. The Nurse Practitioners also offer a variety of clinics specialising in the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes. Attached Community Staff We have district nurses, health visitors and a range of other specialist community nursing services attached to the practice. Referrals can be made by the doctor, practice nurse and in some cases directly by the patients. If you would like some further information please ask the reception team. Care Connection Team This team is comprised of a GP, Guided Care Matron and Care Coordinator. Together they will be proactively identifying people over 65 years old who may benefit from accessing service in order to maintain their health and wellbeing. H4All Wellbeing Officers are also an integral part of the CCTs in supporting patients social supports needs.

Telephone consultations In addition to face to face appointments, we also provide telephone consultations for medical advice and urgent care, which many patients find very convenient. The purpose of telephone consultations is to ensure that all patients are dealt with fairly by an appropriate member of the practice team, and to ensure that problems are dealt with urgently if necessary. The receptionists will take your telephone contact details and the Doctor will ring you back to discuss the nature of your problem. If the Doctor needs to see you in surgery, then you will be given a time to come in that day. Counselling Service We have a counsellor who attends the surgery for sessions once a week. Referrals are made through your GP. On-site Osteopath Anne Wright is a registered Osteopath who operates her private practice from the Medical Centre. She has practised in Ruislip for over 20 years and offers help with conditions such as joint strains, arthritis, sciatica, muscle spasms and headaches.

  9. Friends and Family Test(FFT) The NHS Friends and Family test (FFT) was introduced in GP practices on December 1st 2014 to replace the annual local practice survey. It is an important opportunity for our registered patients to provide feedback on the services that provide their care and treatment. This supports the fundamental principle that all users of the NHS services, should be given the opportunity to give feedback of their own experience. We are always happy to receive patient feedback, and this can be entered by anonymous card form or Tablet provided at reception, or on our Website – www.woodlanesurgery.nhs.uk We are always happy to receive patients’ comments as to how we can improve the services we offer. Please ask to speak to our Practice Manager, Louise Burt, if you have any suggestions you wish to make at a more local level.

The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to know what information is held about you, and sets out rules to make sure that this information is handled properly. Integrated Care in Hillingdon(sharing your information to improve your care) Information about you and the care you receive is shared, in a secure system, by healthcare staff to support your treatment and care. It is important that we, the NHS, can use this information to plan and improve services for all patients. We would like to link information from all the different places where you receive care, such as your GP, hospital and community service, to help us provide a full picture. This will allow us to compare the care you received in one area against the care you received in another, so we can see what has worked best. Information such as your postcode and NHS number, but not your name, will be used to link your records in a secure system, so your identity is protected. Information which does not reveal your identity can then be used by others, such as researchers and those planning health services, to make sure we provide the best care possible for everyone. If you are happy for your information to be used in this way you do not have to do anything. If you have any concerns or wish to prevent this from happening, please ask reception for the opt-out form, complete it and return it to the practice.Further information can be found at the Surgery and on our Website
