Noticeboard

As from the 19th December we are temporarily closing our practice list until 19th June 2019 when we will review our position.

Unfortunately, this means we will not be registering any new patients during this time unless you are direct family member of an existing patient who are currently registered with us live in the same household.

For those patients that sit outside this criteria please go to the NHS website: www.nhs.uk where you will be able to find other practices in the local area.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused and be assured we have not taken this decision lightly.

This closure will allow us to review our current staffing resource against patient demand so we may continue to provide continuity of care to our patients in the future.

Thank you for your support

At the Wellspring Surgery, we encourage our patients to use our online services to book appointments, request prescriptions, and view their records.

It’s really easy to sign up – just pop into the surgery with 3 forms of identification (one photographic and two confirmation of address) and fill in a form.

If you have any questions or queries, our reception team will be able to help you.

Proxy access is where an individual can nominate another individual to have access to their account (e.g for children or vulnerable adults who require support). Unfortunately, at this time, we do not allow proxy access for data security purposes.

It’s important to remember that you should keep your details to your online log in private – see our list of security tips below.

 

Patient Online Access – Keeping Your Online Records Secure

Having access to your records online is a great way to get involved in looking after your health. Your records contain personal information, so it’s important to keep them safe. You should take the same care with your health and social care records as you do if you use online banking.

Here are some tips on how to keep your records safe:



    • If your record provider created a password for you as part of your log-in details, you should change it as soon as possible.

    • Use a strong and memorable password that is at least 8 characters long.

    • Do not write your password down or share it.

    • Do not use words in your password which may be easy for others to guess, such as the names of your relatives or pets.

    • Always log out of your records when you have finished using them.

    • It is best to view your records when you are somewhere private, and on your own computer or mobile device.

    • If you print information from your records make sure it is stored securely.
