Remembrance Day

We, at Blackburn Road Medical Centre, are proud to be an accredited Veteran Friendly GP practice to support out veteran community this Remembrance Day.

As a Veteran Friendly GP Practice we:

Have a clinical lead for veteran health, who is supported by the whole practice to improve veteran health services.
Ask patients "Have you served in the Armed Forces?" to help identify patients and code them on our system.
Support veteran patients to access dedicated health services.
Undertake regular training and development to meet the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant and better understand the needs of veteran patients.

If you're a veteran patient, please let us know that you have served so that we can make sure that we understand your health needs.

A University of Chester study revealed that the Veteran Friendly Accreditation programme, which is run by the Royal College of General Practitioners in partnership with NHS England, leads to better healthcare.

Flu Clinic 2022

Flu Clinics are now available to book at the surgery or online.

Keep my Place

The surgery will be adding a new service to the phone queuing system. It is called Keep my Place in the Queue. This allows you to put the phone down but keep your place in the queue without holding on the line. The surgery will then call you back when it is your turn.

All adults can now book their COVID-19 booster

National Data Opt-Out

If you do not want your patient data shared with NHS Digital, you can register a Type 1 Opt-out with your GP practice. You can register a Type 1 Opt-out at any time. You can also change your mind at any time and withdraw a Type 1 Opt-out.

Data sharing with NHS Digital will start on 30 September 2021.

If you have already registered a Type 1 Opt-out with your GP practice your data will not be shared with NHS Digital.

If you wish to register a Type 1 Opt-out with your GP practice before data sharing starts with NHS Digital, this should be done by returning this form to your GP practice by 1 September 2021 to allow time for processing it. If you have previously registered a Type 1 Opt-out and you would like to withdraw this, you can also use the form to do this. You can send the form by post or email to your GP practice or call 0300 3035678 for a form to be sent out to you.

If you register a Type 1 Opt-out after your patient data has already been shared with NHS Digital, no more of your data will be shared with NHS Digital. NHS Digital will however still hold the patient data which was shared with us before you registered the Type 1 Opt-out.

If you do not want NHS Digital to share your identifiable patient data (personally identifiable data in the diagram above) with anyone else for purposes beyond your own care, then you can also register a National Data Opt-out. There is more about National Data Opt-outs and when they apply in the National Data Opt-out section below.
