Important patient notice

We have now moved to an online triage system for all medical and admin requests. Please use our new online form. It is quick and safe and helps our clinicians prioritise care and direct you to the most suitable support. This change is part of a national NHS programme to improve access for patients. Find out more information.

We know that change can be difficult and we are all getting used to this new system. Sadly, since moving to online triage, our reception team has faced unacceptable behaviour from a small number of patients. Our reception and administrative teams are here to help you, so please speak to them with respect and kindness.

Woosehill Medical Centre has a zero tolerance policy for abusive or rude behaviour towards our staff.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Change to our Communication Method

In our efforts to improve the quality and security of our communications, we will transition from text messaging to email for future correspondences. This change will enable us to provide you with more detailed information and ensure that your personal data is managed with the utmost care and privacy.

What this means for you:

  • You will continue receiving all appointment reminders via text messages; no changes to this.
  • Any other updates and important notifications, such as non-appointment reminders and test results, will be sent via email instead of text.
  • If you don’t have an email address, we will continue to send any correspondences to your provided mobile number, landline number or by post.
  • Please ensure we have your up-to-date email address in our records. If you need to update or provide an email address, you can do so by completing our online form or giving it to our reception in writing.

We understand that this may be challenging for some of our patients, and you can inform us of your preferred communication method (email, text or landline) by sending us an online request form or giving it to our reception in writing.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to care for you with improved communication.
