Kingswood Health Centre - Patient Participation Group Survey

During the week commencing Monday 24th February, members of the Patient Participation Group (PPG) will be working with Kingswood Health Centre handing out short surveys seeking the views of patients on various issues which may affect the patient population, with a view to making improvements where these are deemed appropriate. They will also be handing out leaflets with some information on the role of the PPG with a view to increasing the number of volunteers in the group.

If you are at the Health Centre during this week, please help us to help you by completing one of the surveys and consider joining the Patient Participation Group. Thankyou.

Our new Repeat Prescription & Online Appointment Facility is now live

Please use the link below, or on the left hand pane under Prescriptions to access the new system.

To sign up to use the service, you will need either:-

a) A letter which can be collected from the surgery with your PIN information. You will need to provide photographic ID when you collect the letter, and then when you have signed up - you will have full access to order repeat prescriptions or book/cancel appointments for yourself. Please note if you collect your letter with PIN - you will still need to click the 'Register' (left hand side of screen) to generate your unique User ID, and password.

b) To sign up yourself online. Once you have completed the registration process, you will only be able to book a maximum of one appointment initially. To enable full functionality of the account, you will need to come in to surgery with your photographic ID, where our reception staff will be able to confirm your identity. You will then be able to access all the features of your account.

Please note our Online Appointment system is available for pre-booked appointments with GP's only. Appointments with any other clinical staff or for emergency appointments, you will need to ring the surgery.

Patient Participation Group (PPG) 

We are looking at starting a formal Patient Participation Group and seeking a range of volunteers, from as wide a spectrum of patients we can, who wish to take part in such a project. It is intended that the PPG will be run by patients but with Kingswood Health Centre input, so if you're interested in belonging to a group that is focused on taking positive action to help the practice and the local patient population, please let us know.

PPG's operate in different ways and may involve attendance at regular meetings, producing a PPG newsletter, assisting in defining patient surveys, setting up and running health education or fund-raising events. PPG's can also contribute to discussions to help shape the delivery of services.

If you would like to get involved please contact Robert Baggs, the Practice Manager at the Health Centre for details of the next meeting and what plans we have to progress the Kingswood Health Centre Patient Participation Group.

Cancel Your Appointment Online

Did you know that on average 3,500 appointment slots each year are not attended by the patients that have booked them?

To help our patients in notifying us of cancellations, we have a new online option to cancel your appointments.

Letting us know in advance if you will be unable to attend an appointment will allow us to re-allocate the slot to someone else and reduce the number of days wait for an appointment when you phone up.

At the bottom of the site you will see a box that takes you to a form to infill and send to us.

Please note you will only be able to use this service if your appointment is more than 24 hours in the future, and you also do not wish to re-book another appointment at this time.
