Up to Date Information

For many of our patients we don’t have up-to-date details of Smoking and Alcohol consumption. It would be of great assistance to us if you could click on the link at the bottom of the page “Your Clinical Record” and fill in these details. Please be assured that this is confidential.

Research

Windhill Green Medical practice is involved in clinical research with the Primary Care Research Network.  As a patient you may be invited to participate however you can decline or later withdraw without there being any question that this will affect your future care and treatment at the practice.

Prescriptions

Following guidance from the Department of Health regarding safety issues surrounding telephone ordering from the 5th November 2012 the practice will no longer be able to accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions. 

There are many ways in which you can order you repeat prescription. The most effective way is online and you can also book GP appointments too! Just ask reception how to sign up. You can also leave your repeat order slip at reception or post the slip, ticking exactly what you need. Alternatively you can ask a chemist to order them on your behalf on a monthly basis.
