Why Not Stay In The Comfort Of Your Own Home?Homecare allows patients to enjoy the comfort and security of living in their own homes. The Care in the Community Act, which became law in the early 1990s stated that people who were finding it difficult to manage at home, through infirmity, illness or disability, should be given the help and support they needed to allow them to live in the community, amongst their friends and relatives, for as long as they were willing or able to do so.

There is a wide range of services available from both the local council and private homecare agencies who are dedicated to providing those in need with the correct levels of help and support they require. These services do vary anything from a minimum of half an hour a day up to continuous 24-hour care. They cover various areas such as personal care, respite, domestic and social care, household duties, shopping etc - in fact, anything the patient may need.

The patient can also expect daily or live-in help to be carried out by trained carers or by qualified nurses where required. The overall aim is to enable patients to have a high standard of care and to improve their quality of life whilst remaining in the comfort of their own homes. If you believe you would benefit from this type of assistance then you can contact your local care agency who will then assess your needs.

prescriptionsThe practice dispenses for all patients who live more than one mile from the surgery. Repeat prescriptions should be ordered either online at Swaffham-doctors.co.uk, by returning your computer order form or by telephone on Swaffham (01760) 722971. The completed prescriptions may then be collected from Swaffham surgery or, if more convenient for you, at either of our branch surgeries, within surgery hours. Repeat prescriptions will normally be ready for collection within 48 hours (two working days) of your written or phoned request arriving at the surgery, Saturday not included.

home VisitsIf you are too unwell to visit the surgery, please ring before 10.00am where possible, with full details. Please remember that several patients can be seen at the surgery in the time that it takes to do a home visit. Home visits are at the discretion of your doctor. Please do not ask your doctor to call unless the patient is genuinely too ill to come to the surgery. A rash or temperature does not prevent patients coming to the surgery and will not endanger others. Simply tell the receptionist on arrival.

appointmentsA full appointment system is employed but urgent cases will be seen the same day. We will do our best to keep to the appointment time, but emergencies do occur. Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult. If you cannot keep your appointment, please inform us.Whilst the practice will endeavour to fulfil your request for a particular doctor, it might not always be possible and if this were to be the case, an explanation would be offered.Online bookings - both convenient and easy to use. Ask to register at reception.

Beat The BurglarWhat is contained in our houses? Not only our valuables, often possessions that have taken us a lifetime to collect and are beyond value, but most important of all, our family. So for your health and peace of mind it is important that they are protected.

Imagine your feelings knowing your house has been entered by strangers while you were out. Many victims report feelings of feeling dirty by the violation of their personal space, some people feel so bad that they wish to move immediately. Many alarm installation companies will confirm that they are often called in to fit an alarm after a burglary has happened.

Overcome these problems and concerns by calling your local alarm installer, ensure they are NACOSS (National Approval Council of Security Systems) registered and therefore meet the highest British and European standards of design and installation.

Don’t leave it until it’s too late. Call your local alarm installer now for a free survey and quotation.

Offering a wide range of treatments designed to give relaxation and a feeling of well-being - each tailored to your individual needs. Massage may help to improve quality of life associated with stress and related health problems and symptoms.

What is Massage Therapy?Massage originated in China and is one of the oldest and simplest forms of therapy. It is a system of pressing and kneading different areas of the body, which can relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body.

Massage works on the soft tissues which can improve muscle tone. Although it normally affects those muscles just under the skin, the benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs. Of course, there is the added bonus that it also creates a pleasant sensation on the skin

Massage can also help with a person’s mood and is known to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

A single massage will be enjoyable, but the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits.

If a Massage Therapist is registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) or the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), you can be confident that they are properly trained, qualified and fully insured.

health advisory clinicsAll women aged 25 - 49 years are offered a smear test every three years, including breast examination then at five year intervals until age of 65, where appropriate. By appointment with the practice nurse.

child health and immunisationWe recommend full immunisation for all pre-school children. Development and health checks are performed by the doctors. By appointment.

minor surgeryThis is performed under local anaesthetic in the surgery, as arranged by the doctors.

health promotionThe aim of promoting health is to try to identify risk factors at an early stage and prevent them from causing ill health. For this reason we will ask about drinking and smoking habits and measure your blood pressure and weight from time to time. This is especially wise in people with a family history of heart disease, diabetes or stroke. Examinations are offered for all new patients and for existing patients every three years.

services offeredcomplementary medicineAcupuncture is available to our patients on the NHS and privately to others.

antenatal careFull pregnancy care and postnatal checks are available in conjunction with the community midwife. Doctors look after their own patients. Antenatal clinics are on Fridays at Swaffham and Wednesdays at Necton.

family planningAll aspects of family planning advice are available.

flu VaccinationAn influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for patients with heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes and residents of nursing and rest homes. Please contact the reception staff in October for details of the vaccination dates and to make an appointment. If you are unable to attend the surgery, a home visit will be arranged to undertake this facility.

asthma and Diabetic clinicsThese are held on a regular basis by appointment with the practice nurse.

non-nhs examinationsThe doctors are happy to carry out medicals, eg insurance and driving licence, by appointment outside surgery hours. Please telephone for an appointment. Ask at reception for the charges for these services.

Test Results: If you have undergone tests or x-rays ordered by the practice, we will inform you of the results at your next appointment. If no further appointment needs to be arranged, we will advise you when and how to obtain the results.

Respect: Patients will be treated as individuals and partners in their healthcare, irrespective of their ethnic origin or religious and cultural beliefs.

Information: We will give you full information about the services we offer. Every effort will be made to ensure that you receive that information which directly affects your health and the care being offered.

Health Promotion: The practice will offer patients advice and information on steps they can take to promote good health and avoid illness and on self-help which can be undertaken without reference to a doctor in the case of minor ailments.

Health Records: You have the right to see your health records, subject to limitations in the law.

Referrals: If your doctor believes that you need a second opinion, then they will arrange this. Routine referral letters for hospital appointments will normally be dispatched within three working days of the referral being agreed with the doctor. Urgent referrals for hospital appointments may be electronically transmitted, faxed, telephoned or provided as a handwritten note for the patient to take to the hospital.

Choose and Book: This service enables patients to choose a convenient place, date and time for their initial hospital appointment. All patients in England can choose from one of four or five hospitals commissioned by their CCG. The GP and patient discuss any clinical restrictions that apply to the patient's choice of service(s) and any personal preferences they may have. The appointment can be booked immediately with the GP or with other practice staff while the patient is at the surgery, or, if the patient wishes to book later, after consulting with work, family or friends, they are provided with a printout of their appointment reference number and information on how to book over the phone via a booking management service or the internet. If the patient does not make a booking, their GP and the booking management service are alerted so they can initiate any follow-up action. This is a big step in giving patients greater involvement in the choices and decisions about their treatment.

Your responsibilities To Ushelp us to help youPlease let us know if you change your name, address or telephone number.Please do everything you can to keep appointments.

Please keep your phone call brief and avoid calling during the peak morning time for non-urgent matters.Test results take time to reach us, so please do not ring before you have been asked to do so. Enquiries about tests ordered by the hospital should be directed to the hospital, not the practice.

We ask that you treat the doctors and practice staff with courtesy and respect.

Please read our practice booklet. This will help you to get the best out of the services we offer. It is important that you understand the information given to you. Please ask us questions if you are unsure of anything.

Remember, you are responsible for your own health and the health of your children. We will give you our professional help and advice. Please act upon it.

Please ask if you wish to see your doctor. You can discuss any medical matter with the doctor, including asking for a second opinion.

Please speak to the practice manager if you wish to see your medical records. This can be arranged by appointment. There may be a fee payable.

complaintsWe endeavour to give you the best service possible at all times but there may be occasions when you feel you wish to express dissatisfaction.Our Practice Complaints Procedure is part of the NHS system for dealing with complaints, and it conforms to national criteria.

how To complainWe hope that most problems can be sorted out easily and quickly, at the time they arise and with the person concerned. If your problem cannot be sorted out in this way and you wish to make a complaint, we would like to know as soon as possible - ideally, within a matter of days or at most a few weeks - because this will enable us to establish exactly what happened more easily:

• Within six months of the incident that caused the problem

• Or within six months of discovering that you have a problem, provided this is within 12 months of the incident.

Complaints should be addressed to David Brammer, the Practice Manager, or any of the doctors.

Alternatively, you may ask for an appointment with David Brammer in order to discuss your concerns. He will explain the complaints procedure to you and will make sure that your concerns are dealt with promptly.

What We shall DoWe shall acknowledge your complaint within two working days and aim to have looked into your complaint within 10 working days of the date when you raised it with us, provided the appropriate personnel are not away from the surgery. We shall then be in a position to offer you an explanation, or a meeting with the people involved. When we look into your complaint we shall aim to:

• Find out what happened and what went wrong

• Make sure you receive an apology, where this is appropriate

• Identify what we can do to make sure the problem does not happen again

• Arrange for you to discuss the problem with those concerned, if you would like this. It may be helpful to use the services of an independent, trained conciliator appointed by the local Health Authority.

complaining on behalf of someone elsePlease note that we keep strictly to the rules of medical confidentiality. If you are complaining on behalf of someone else, we have to know that you have his or her permission to do so. A note signed by the person concerned will be needed, unless they are incapable (because of illness) to provide this.

further stepsWe hope that if you have a problem, you will use our practice complaints procedure, and we will reach a resolution of it locally.We believe this will give us the best chance of putting right whatever has gone wrong and an opportunity to improve our practice. However, this does not affect your right to approach the Patients Advisory Liaison Service (PALS) if you feel you cannot raise your complaint with us OR if you are dissatisfied with the result of our investigation.You should contact: PALSLakeside 400Old Chapel WayBroadland Business ParkThorpe St AndrewNorwich NR7 0WGTel: 0800 587 4132
