Bottisham Medical Practice

The Practice is currently experiencing very high levels of staff shortages. We are running on a reduced number of staff within our GP, nursing and dispensary teams this week.

Please can we ask patients not to attend before 5 days for their repeat medication as it will not be ready for collection.  Can we remind patients that if you have a minor ailment such as a cough, cold, sore throat or upset stomach, you can seek advice and over the counter medication from your local pharmacist.  For life threatening medical emergencies please call 999. 

We apologise for the temporary disruption to the service and would like to thank all our patients for their kind words of support over the last few days.

Patient data from GP medical records kept by GP practices in England is used to improve health, care and services through planning and research, helping to find better treatments and improve patient care. The NHS is introducing an improved way to share this information – called the General Practice Data for Planning and Research data collection.  

Choose if data from your health records is shared for research and planning

You can use this online service to:

• choose if your confidential patient information is used for research and planning
• change or check your current choice

Your choice will be applied by:

• NHS Digital
• all other health and care organisations by 31 July 2022 (delayed from March 2020 to allow organisations to focus on the COVID-19 outbreak). 

Any choice you make will not impact your individual care.

The latest information on the GPDPR, including what information is obtained and how to opt-out of sharing your information, can be found here.
