Referral Information
When we refer patients to other services the referral is administered by the local NHS in a referral management centre. The referral management centre is responsible for allocating your referral to
other services and normally sees full information about the referral, including any confidential information.
If your GP is referring you to other services and you feel there is any information you wish to withhold from the referral management centre, please inform your GP as soon as possible during normal working
hours.
If you experience problems with the referral management centre or wish to discuss its role further, please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 01753 635615.
Next-of-Kin
Please make sure the Practice has up to date details of your next-of-kin. If your circumstances change and your next-of-kin changes you need to keep us informed. It is the patient's responibility to keep the surgery informed.
Patient Participation Group
The practice has a Patient Participation Group (PPG). The PPG acts as a liaison group between you, the patient, and the doctors and management of the practice. It offers advice on matters relating to the
administration of the practice to aid the efficient running of the surgery.
The PPG cannot advise on clinical matters or patient complaints. For further information please contact the Chairman of the PPG whose e-mail address is: jim.finnie@bracknell-forest.gov.uk
What To Do When Somebody Dies
If somebody dies either at home or in hospital it is obviously a difficult and traumatic time for everyone close to them. Unfortunately at this time there are a lot of important things which need to be
done. Many people find dealing with these unfamiliar legal responsibilities at such a difficult time can be upsetting and confusing.
If you need advice on what to do at this time either the doctor or an undertaker may be able to help. There is also a very useful booklet produced by social services available from the surgery.
