Sharing information in the NHS helps ensure that the quality and safety of services is consistent across the country. It can also highlight different diseases and conditions that may require more NHS investment. This is an opportunity for each of us to help the NHS provide high quality care for all.

You can find out more about how information is used for purposes beyond your direct care, the benefits this bring and the choices you have available to you by watching our short video.

Patient Update

We recently sent all our registered patient households a newsletter where we explained our intention to join together with a larger NHS healthcare organisation; Symphony Healthcare Services (SHS). We are pleased and proud to confirm that we are now part of the SHS network of GP practices and are looking forward to working with our NHS colleagues across the organisation.

As a patient you don’t need to take any action and you can contact us on the same phone number, or pop in to see the reception team. Dr Austin and the team will continue to work at the surgery and will be supported by a larger team within SHS.

For more information please visit: www.symphonyhealthcareservices.com or speak to the reception team if you have a question or query. Thank you.
