Eastfield Medical Centre

read moreWe are committed to the development and training of our staff to ensure our patients are given up to date evidence-based care. Eastfield Medical Centre looks after over 8000 thousand patients. We have a close team of Doctors, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, HCAs and support staff working together to provide the best care we can in a safe and caring manner. With our local population growing we will continue to seek more efficient ways of working without compromising on the quality of care we strive to deliver.

Various clinics run Monday to Friday to accommodate your individual needs and circumstances. All the doctors at the surgery are happy to see any patient (whether registered with the practice or not) for contraceptive advice. This is a completely confidential service for both patients aged over and under 16 years.

read moreSome services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

GP online services allow you to access a range of services via your computer, mobile or tablet. You can still contact the practice by phone or in person, this is just another option, which other patients have found is more convenient and saves them time. For more information, please contact reception or next time you visit the surgery, bring with you a piece of photo ID (passport, driving licence) and something with your address on like a bank statement but not a gas or electric bill.

read moreYou can now register to receive information by text message on your phone regarding appointments and health care. If practices are sending messages about recommended treatment for the management of a specific health issue, then this is defined as providing appropriate care for patients, not marketing purposes.

read moreIf the death has been reported to the coroner (or Procurator Fiscal in Scotland) they must give permission before registering the death. You can register the death if you are a relative, a witness to the death, a hospital administrator or the person making the arrangements with the funeral directors. You can use the 'Register a Death' page on the gov.uk website that will guide you through the process. This will also explain the registration process for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some local councils run their own funeral services, for example for non-religious burials.

read moreWe would like to know how we can improve our service to you and how you perceive our surgery and staff. To help us with this, we have a virtual patient representation group so that you can have your say. We ask the members of this representative group some questions from time to time, such as what you think about our opening times or the quality of the care or service you received. We will contact you via email and keep our surveys succinct so it shouldn't take too much of your time. The information you supply us will be used lawfully, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
