Medical Students
The Practice is involved in the teaching and training of medical students from the University of Manchester. The doctors in the Practice closely supervise the students. It is important for the students to talk to people about their health and illnesses. This helps them understand how illness affects people and how they cope. You may be asked to help us in this teaching. Please note this is entirely voluntary and you may say “no” to this request at any time. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
How do I sign into my GP App?
To get started with my GP App you need to download it to your mobile device. You also need to be registered with the Surgery’s on line services, which will then provide you with log in details, i.e. Linkage Key, ODS Code and account ID. You will be asked to provide photo ID and proof of address.
Repeat Prescriptions
PRESCRIPTION LINE –
This will be available from 11.00 am – 1.00 pm and can only be used by patients who are over 65, or housebound. For all other patients you will be able to order your medication in the following ways:

Patients Rights & Responsibilities
We aim to treat our patients courteously at all times and expect our patients to treat our staff in a similarly respectful way. We take seriously any threatening, abusive or violent behaviour against any of our staff or patients.
If a patient is violent or abusive, they will be warned to stop their behaviour. If they persist, we may exercise our right to take action to have them removed, immediately if necessary from our list of patients.
Complaints, Comments & Suggestions
We constantly strive to ensure that all our patients receive good care and attention and we welcome any suggestions or comments as to how we can improve our service.
We realise that sometimes things do not go as smoothly as we would wish and if you think this has happened please inform a member of staff who will inform either the Practice Manager who in turn will investigate the complaint and contact you directly. We do take all complaints very seriously and try to learn from them.
We would be pleased to send you a copy of our complaints procedure on request and will try to resolve your complaint at a local level.
It is understood that sometimes the complainant does not feel comfortable with raising their complaint or concern with the Surgery directly.
