They may then arrange for you to collect any necessary paperwork for completion prior to making an appointment for you to see the doctor for a health check. We may ask you to complete a short questionnaire - this helps us to look after you until your medical records arrive. Registration forms and questionnaires can be downloaded from the above "Registering Online" tab.

Reception and administration staff require access to your medical records in order to do their jobs. These members of staff are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the medical staff. Information about the General Practioners and the practice required for disclosure under this act can be made available to the public. All requests for such information should be made to the practice manager. In accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and Access to Health Records Act, patients may request to see their medical records.

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 moreAt Roslea Surgery we are keen to ensure that our patients are actively involved in deciding how the health services they use should develop. The aim of the virtual Patient Participation Group (PPG) is to give patients, GP's and practice staff an opportunity to exchange ideas and information and then to take action. Anyone who is registered at Roslea can get involved and be a member of the group. The group is a virtual group and all interactions will be done online. If you are interested in becoming a member of the group please contact Paula, office manager, on 01772 310107 for more information.

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.
