Noticeboard

Which service, when?

Inappropriate A+E attendances for problems that are neither emergencies nor related to acute injuries from accidents, cause delay in assessment for those who have genuine need. NHS Sheffield is keen to help you choose the right service for your needs at the time, i.e "the right place at the right time". That might be, self-care, pharmacist advice, walk-in-centre, GP (including urgent access as at Crystal Peaks MC),or out of hours GP service. In order to facilitate that, there is some guidance available in our further information list. Please help by accessing the right service at the right time. This is especially important in the winter months when the health service is under additional pressure. Thank you

HGV/PCV Medicals- £110!

We have reduced our price for Heavy Goods Vehicle and Passenger Carrying Vehicle examinations. We believe there are advantages to having your registered medical practice carrying out these medicals as we have full access to your medical record, if there are any queries and we can rapidly arrange any further tests that may become necessary. Please contact reception to arrange an appointment.

Your Sheffield Health and Care Record

Information used to support care

When you see a doctor, nurse or any other health or social care professional, we ask you to share information about yourself. This helps us offer treatment and care adapted to your needs. We keep a record of relevant information, which may be written down or held on a computer. This record is known as your health, medical or care record.

From now on, all of our patients medical records will have 'Implied consent' to share the record with other healthcare providers unless you specifically request your record not to be shared. You can also 'dissent' to certain parts of your record to be hidden but the rest of your record 'shared'. Please note, by not agreeing to sharing your records you may not always receive the best available service that meets your specific needs.

We will not share your record with healthcare providers who are not involved in your treatment.

If you would like to dissent to sharing your records, please contact reception who will amend your records accordingly.
