Information about your Referral
We offer a number of Non-NHS services to our patients or in other words there are a number of services that are run from these premises that are offered on a Private basis. They are not part of the NHS, so fees are usually payable.
If health advice is needed for your holiday, please contact a travel clinic soon after booking your holiday. They will be able to tell you which vaccines you require for your destination.
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.

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