New Patient Registration

The doctors welcome new patients. 

As it often takes some time for records to be forwarded from your former practice all newly registered patients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and are offered a consultation with the doctor. 

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration.  Please contact reception for further information.

Guide to GP Services

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.  You can download the guide below.

Registering with the Practice

When you register you will also be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire (see below). This is because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. You will need to fill out the GMS1 form and the questionnaire and send completed forms to dansonfamilypractice@nhs.net

GP Practices are required to inform patients that they have a named GP who is responsible for their overall care at the practice, please contact the practice if you wish to know who this is or if you have a preference and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

General Practice Extraction Service

The General practice Extraction Service (GPES) is a centrally managed primary care data extraction service that extracts information from GP IT systems for a range of purposes at a national level. It also forms part of the new process to provide payments to GPs and clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). GPES is of vital strategic importance and plays an essential role in the NHS's information needs

GPES overview

The General practice Extraction Service (GPES) is a centrally managed primary care data extraction service that will, for the first time, extract information from GP IT systems for a range of purposes at a national level.

How will it work?

GPES is the only national means of extracting primary care data from general practice systems.It comprises two main parts and is being delivered by a number of IT services organisations. ATOS  have been awarded the contract to provide the tool that will produce the extract queries, whilst the extractions themselves will be conducted by the GP practice system suppliers - EMIS .

Why is GPES being developed?

GP patient records are the most complete record of a patient's health within the NHS. They contain a wealth of information about patient care and provide a vital insight into the nation's health. GP patient records are currently extracted using a variety of systems that are both technically complex and resource intensive. GPES will resolve this issue by centralising the data query and extraction services, removing the complex scheduling processes and reducing the burden on practice staff.

By improving access to primary care data for the NHS and other approved organisations, GPES will support a diverse range of services and initiatives that aim to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness.

GPES benefits

GPES has the potential to improve patient care by coordinating a standardised picture of information from GP clinical systems across England. By making this information available to the NHS and other approved organisations GPES will support a diverse range of services and initiatives that aim to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness.

Potential patient benefits include:

·  improving the screening of patients for serious conditions and therefore enabling treatments to be delivered quicker and more efficiently

·  better patient safety

·  better visibility of major public health issues (e.g. enabling the NHS to monitor flu outbreaks and deliver services where they are needed); and

·  a greater insight into the uptake of vital medicines.
