Welcome to Heath Lane Surgery
THE SURGERY IS RUNNING A LOCKED DOOR POLICY DUE TO THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS SITUATION.
PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE SURGERY UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED, ALL PATIENTS WILL BE TRIAGED FOR COVID-19 BEFORE GAINING ENTRY.
Face coveringsPlease be aware that we ask that you wear a face covering when visiting the surgery. Evidence suggests that wearing a face covering does not protect you. However, if you are infected but have not yet developed symptoms, it may provide some protection for others you come into close contact with. Face coverings do not replace social distancing. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, and/or high temperature, and/or loss of, or change in, your normal sense of smell or taste - anosmia), you and your household must isolate at home: wearing a face covering does not change this. Face coverings should not be used by children under the age of 3 or those who may find it difficult to manage them correctly. It is important to use face coverings properly and wash your hands before putting them on and taking them off. You can make face-coverings at home. The key thing is it should cover the mouth and nose. |
Well Pharmacy next door to the surgery are operating reduced opening hours with a one in one out policy, this is to allow them to operate safely and provide the best service they can for as many patient as possible during this difficult time. The Surgery has no affiliation with the Pharmacy, Please do NOT contact the Surgery regarding questions relating to the Pharmacy including opening hours or whether a prescription is ready for collection.
You can however email the Pharmacy directly at hc200520@well.co.uk

Summary Care Record (SCR) is data shared with health and care professionals, consenting to Enhanced Summary Care Record (eSCR) can help staff involved in your care make better, safer and quicker decisions because additional information is shared. You can consent to sharing an Enhanced Summary Cared Record by speaking to Reception or a Clinician.
What is Additional Information?
Additional information is a summary of the information recorded by your GP practice about you and will include the following (when this is present in your GP health record):
- Your long term health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart problems or rare medical conditions.
- Your relevant medical history – clinical procedures that you have had, why you need a particular medicine, the care you are currently receiving and clinical advice to support your future care.
- Your health care preferences – you may have your own care preferences which will make caring for you more in line with your needs, such as special dietary requirements.
- Your personal preferences – you may have personal preferences, such as religious beliefs or legal decisions that you would like to be known.
- Immunisations – details of previous vaccinations, such as tetanus and routine childhood jabs.
- Specific sensitive information such as any fertility treatments, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy terminations or gender reassignment will not be included, unless you specifically ask for any of these items to be included.
How will Additional Information help me?
Essential details about your healthcare can be very difficult to remember, particularly when you are unwell. Having additional information in your SCR means that when you need healthcare, you will be helped to recall this vital information.
There are already clear benefits for your care from having medication, allergy and adverse reaction information available through your SCR. If you choose to add additional information, this can further increase the quality of your care. Additional information can also empower you if you need some help to communicate your complex care needs.
