Noticeboard

We are having a new phone system in September 2016, but the number will not change

Do you care for someone with dementia?

Barrow upon Soar Methodist Church

are hosting a regular drop in at the church to have a chat and a cup of tea every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month between 2-4pm. All welcome.

Remember our nurses are trained to deal with minor illnesses and can prescribe medication to deal with this. They are highly trained Urgent Care Nurses who are experienced in their field. If your condition is more than the nurse can manage she will pass you on to a GP that same day if necessary. The receptionists are trained to signpost patients to the best clinician to deal with your complaint.

Dr Dayah is no longer seeing patients at Barrow Health Centre. Dr Simpson and Dr Duffy will continue to provide a service of general practice as normal. Appropriate arrangements have been put in place to ensure continuity of care and adequate appointment availability.

RED EYE. Should you be experiencing difficulties with extreme sore red eyes, floaters etc we now have a joint facility with local ophthalmologists who will take referrals from our surgery to ease eye casualty waiting times for any of these issues. Please book an appointment with a nurse who will assess and refer where appropriate should you be experiencing any of these difficulties.

IF YOU GET THE ENGAGED TONE PLEASE RE - DIAL AGAIN.

We are continually reviewing the phone system.

Welcome to the Barrow Health Centre Website

docbaby The Health Centre Surgery is centrally placed in the village of Barrow upon Soar. It has a large car park and is on the local bus route. A pharmacy is also located nearby.

The doctors and nurses here take pride in offering the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare. We run many clinics for chronic disease care and offer a wide variety of other medical services such as antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

The Health Centre is fully accessible to people in wheelchairs and other disabled

From Thursday 29th September 2016 the surgery will be open on Thursday afternoons 1.30-6pm. This is the only day we will close at lunchtime to accommodate staff training and meetings

Your Named Registered Accountable GP

In Accordance with the current government and our NHS Contract, all patients on our list have been allocated a named accountable GP. This GP is responsible for the co-ordination of all appropriate services that relate to your care. You are unlikely to see any notable change in the way care is delivered to you by our practice, this process is simply a formalisation of our current process. You are however, able to book an appointment with any of the GPs in the practice.

If you do not know who your GP is, please ask at your next visit.

Remember our nurses are trained to deal with minor illnesses and can prescribe medication to deal with this. They are highly trained Urgent Care Nurses who are experienced in their field. If your condition is more than the nurse can manage she will pass you on to a GP that same day if necessary.
