Green Impact

The surgery has signed up to the Green Impact for Health Scheme. This is an ongoing project to improve the environmental performance of GP surgeries while saving money and ensuring that our services offers the greatest benefit to society as a whole. We are proud to announce achieving the Bronze Award in 2021 and are now working hard towards Silver.

The Green Impact for Health project has been developed for General Practice by the National Union of Students, GPs, trainees, and medical students. It is supported by University of Bristol, NHS Health Education South West and the Severn Faculty of the Royal College of General Practitioners.

The scheme covers many different areas including:

Social prescribing, reducing waste and increased recycling and more environmentally friendly inhaler choices

Record Sharing

There is a local shared record programme that allows some of your medical records to be viewed by other local medical care providers, e.g.  A&E, Out of Hours Doctors etc. You will always be asked for your consent, each time a professional accesses your records, unless you are too unwell to give permission. Your consent will always be recorded on your record.  You will be automatically opted in unless you would like to dissent, please speak to a member of reception.
