Smoking Cessation

For advice and support on stopping smoking via the Health Trainer, please arrange an appointment.

If you have been asked by a doctor, please complete our Smoking Review form.

Minor Surgery

Minor operations, for non-cosmetic reasons, are undertaken by Dr Meardon and Dr Hughes. Ask your doctor for advice.

Psychological Services

Referrals to this service can be made via your doctor or the practice nurse.

Community Nurses

Our community nursing team is responsible for providing skilled home nursing care and support typically for patients who are housebound. Please discuss a referral to this team with your doctor.

Care Co-ordinator

We now have a care coordinator working with the practice. She can help you access additional support and services to help you manage your own condition in your own home. Speak to your doctor for further information.

Patient Participation Group

To ensure we obtain input from the users of our services we work with other GP practices across the area to run a Patient Participation Group which is called plain talking.

This group is a “virtual” group and we correspond via telephone, email or letter so there are no meetings to attend, we just ask for assistance in completing surveys and asking for input and feedback to help us identify changes we should be making.
If you are interested in finding out more please ask a receptionist for a PPG information sheet.

Transforming the care of the Elderly

Working with our Social Prescribers, and following a change in staffing, the Coffee Club will be resuming shortly and is in the process of being set up. The Coffee Club will be returning to Barcroft Medical Centre. More details to follow.

Carers

The Carers Register is kept updated and carers are identified at the point of registration, or by Reception staff, Nurses and GPs. In addition to support carers, we will be offering the Carers/Coffee Morning Club which are currently in the process of being set up.
