Have you received an RSV Vaccination invitation?
More information can be found here for Older Adults and Pregnant Women (Gov.uk) with details about the vaccine, who is eligible, and how this can prevent a hospital admission this Winter.

It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Dr Din has now retired from General Practice and would no longer be available for consultations at the Surgery. For the past 8 years he has been a key member of our team and has been an integral part of our success. He will be missed by us all here at AMC and we wish him all the best with his future endeavours

Please be aware that we only offer NHS vaccines for travel. This is limited to Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio, Hepatitis A and Typhoid. please complete an eConsult and  we will be able to arrange an appointment to have these vaccines if they are needed. We require 6 weeks notice before your departure to order the required vaccines (these must be administered 2 weeks before you travel or they may not be effective).

If you require vaccines over and above that offered by the NHS you will need to arrange these with a private travel clinic; this would include the Yellow Fever vaccine and Cholera Vaccine.

ONLINE CONSULTATION

ONLINE CONSULTATION

Our Online Consultation service will let you request advice, treatment, sick notes, GP letters, recent test results and more.

Enhancing navigation and triage processes

The modern general practice model moves away from the 8am phone call queue and ‘first come, first served’ process for allocating appointments.

Online consultation enables us to have a  consistent structured information to be collected at the point of contact – to let us know about symptoms, ask a question, make a request or follow up about something – with patients either providing this information online form or to reception staff who capture the information about your needs.

Patient needs can then be consistently assessed and prioritised (triaged), allowing practices to provide patients with the most appropriate care or other response, from the right member of the practice team, including signposting or referring patients to other appropriate services.

The ability to better allocate patients to the right health professional or service supports effective use of all staff time and skills, including staff employed through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS).

It also supports improved ability and capacity to provide continuity of care for those that would benefit most, including vulnerable patients and those with long-term conditions.

The use of different consultation modalities, including text or online messages, is also a part of this provision to facilitate flexible working for staff (which supports retention) and provides a variety of options for patients to receive care and advice in the most effective way depending on their needs.

ONLINE RESOURCES

There are a number of useful Online Resources that can help you with external clinical and administrative requests.

We encourage our patients to utilise these online resources whenever possible.

RESEARCH

Research

Ascot Medical Centre is involved in medical research and from time to time you may be approached to take part. Taking part in
research is voluntary: you can freely accept or decline, and this will not affect the care that you receive in any way. Even
if you agree to take part, you can still withdraw at any time, without having to provide justification. Withdrawing from a
study will NOT affect the care we provide for you.
All research projects carried out at Ascot Medical Centre have been thoroughly checked and approved by the relevant
health authorities & ethical committees ensuring it is appropriate and safe to perform. You will always receive clear
information about what taking part in a research study would involve and will have the opportunity to ask questions and
obtain further details about a study. All projects are fully compliant with all UK laws (incl. GDPR).
● You may receive a letter in the post offering you the opportunity to take part in a study (the letter will include some
information about the project). Although the letter will often say it is from the study team, we would never share
your personal data without your consent. All mailouts are in fact done by your practice and your address (as well as
any other personal data) has not been shared with anyone else.
● Your doctor or nurse may also offer you to take part in a study during your usual appointment.
● You may also be approached by a member of the study team in the waiting area; be assured that this person and
their activity will have been approved by the practice.
What you will be asked to do as part of the research will vary from study to study. The Patient Information Sheet for
each project will detail what is expected of you. The study team is also there to answer all questions you may have.
