This practice will be offering our patients the facility to view parts of their GP medical record online from 1st April 2016.

The practice would like to know what patients think about online services, please send your feedback to bhccg.stanfordmedicalcentre@nhs.net

Electronic Prescription Service

What is the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)?
EPS is an NHS funded service in England. It gives you the chance to change how your GP sends your prescription to the healthcare professional you choose to get your medicines or appliances from.
What does this mean for you?
If you currently collect your repeat prescriptions from your GP you will not have to visit your GP practice to pick up your paper prescription. Instead, your GP will send it electronically to the place you choose, saving you time.
You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
You may not have to wait as long at the pharmacy as there will be more time for your repeat
prescriptions to be prepared before you arrive.
For more information about EPS visit www.cfh.nhs.uk/eps, or ask your pharmacy or talk to us.

Building Work - Limited Parking

Stanford Medical Centre will be undergoing some building work from the 5th of July, 2021. Unfortunately, this means there will be limited parking at the surgery. If you will be attending the practice, please leave plenty of time to find a parking space ahead of your appointment. This may mean parking off site or finding alternate ways of getting here. We are sorry for any inconvenience. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Data Matters To Us

Your health records contain a type of data called confidential patient information. This data can be used to help with research and planning. You can choose to stop your confidential patient information being used for research and planning. You can also make a choice for someone else, such as your children under the age of 13. NHS Digital will never sell your data. There are strict rules about how NHS can use your data. It's only shared securely and safely. Shared data helps the NHS. It has been used to find the first treatment for coronavirus and for vaccine research.

If you're happy with your confidential patient information being used for research and planning you do not need to do anything.

Green Impact

This practice is delighted to be signed up to the Green Impact for Health Toolkit and is actively taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint.

The climate emergency is also a health emergency, and health care in the UK contributes 5.4% of the UK's carbon emissions. We need to enhance the health of our current population without compromising the health of future generations, and this means operating within the sustainable boundaries of the planet. Fortunately most of the solutions for the planet also make our health better - for example eating a mainly plant-based diet, engaging in active travel and exercise in nature, avoiding smoking and reducing pollution all enhance our health, and reduce our need for medications, with further benefits to the NHS, your health and the carbon footprint of healthcare.
