WINTER PRESSURES AND COST OF LIVING RESOURCE PACK

06-01-23

As Winter approaches we are all aware of the cost of living crisis and the impact it is having on our service users and staff.

Following on from a recent Cost of Living, Winter Pressures and Suicide Prevention Thinking Space session run by NHS England and NHS Improvement, we now have a Winter Pressures and Cost of Living resource pack 

For more information about Scarlet Fever, please see our news page

Same Day Appointments

Due to an increase in call volume we would like to remind patients that you need to call before 11 am (where possible) for a same day appointment or home visit.

We will try our best to accommodate requests at different times of the day either through out triage team or telephone call, but if you call after 11 you may be offered a face to face appointment on a different day instead. This is to try and streamline our triage process and allow the doctors to treat all those who need it.

Thanks you,

Kelvingrove Medical Centre

Publication of GP Practices Appointment Data 

24-11-22

We are aware that data has been published in relation to the number of appointments offered within Derbyshire by local GPs.

Following receipt of this data, we have been in discussion with the Derbyshire ICB (Integrated Car Board) regarding the information and an internal review has been carried out. This has shown that the extracted data is incorrect and is not a true reflection of the number of appointments offered to our patients at Kelvingrove Medical Centre.

Prior to any data being published, the BMA (British Medical Association) and NHS Digital, raised concerns to the Integrated Care Boards (ICB) on the accuracy of the data extracted and that further work was required, but information has been published regardless. We have also raised these concerns directly to them.

If you have any questions regarding the publication, please do not hesitate to contact Kelly Julian, Practice Business Manager.

Thank you

Kind Regards

If you are unhappy or have any concerns we would request that these are raised in the appropriate manner.  Thank you
