Other Information

• Sharing Your Information To Improve Your Care

We are proposing to sign up to a new system which will allow health and social care professionals from outside the GP practice directly involved in your care to view the most up-to-date information about you . This allows the professionals caring for you to more fully understand your needs and means you only have to tell your history once.

You will be asked for your consent whenever a professional outside the GP practice wishes to view your record. If you do not wish your information to be shared in this way please let us know. For further information please see these Frequently Asked Questions or read our Privacy Notice which gives full details of how we use and share your information.

• Accessible Information Standard

The Accessible Information Standard is a new law (2016) to make sure that people who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss are given information they can easily read or understand.

Individuals most likely to be affected by the Standard include people who are blind or deaf, who have some hearing and/or visual loss, and people with a learning disability. However, this list is not exhaustive.

If you feel that this applies to you or someone in your care, please inform a member of staff, we will then do our best to meet these needs.  You need to help us to make sure we get things right for you.

You can find more information about the Accessible Information Standard on the NHS England website: www.england.nhs.uk/accessibleinfo

• Medical Students

Hoyland Medical Practice is proud to be affiliated with the University of Sheffield Medical School. Students from the medical school who are training to be doctors will occasionally be sitting in with the GP during your consultation. If you prefer not to have a student present, please inform the doctor at the time.

• Access To Records

Patients can request a copy of their own written and computer records.

If you require a copy of your record please put your request in writing to the Surgery detailing if you wish your whole records or specific letters.  This service is provided by medi2data who will email a copy of your records to you within 28 days of your request.  Please provide an email address in your written request to allow this action.   Access to medical records for people outside the health care team (or those involved in the patient’s clinical care) is only given with the patient’s express written permission.

• Named Accountable GP

All patients will have a named accountable GP who will be responsible for the patients’ overall care at the practice. This does not stop you from seeing any other GP in the practice.

Where a patient wishes to see a particular GP, they may have to wait longer to see their preferred practitioner.

If you wish to know who your named accountable GP is, please contact the practice on 01226 355800. If you have a preference to a particular GP the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.

• Average GP Earnings

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice and should not be used for any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparisons with other practices.

The average earnings for GPs working in Hoyland Medical Practice in the last

          financial year ending in 2021/22 was £117,357 before taxation and National

          Insurance. 

          This is for 2 full time GPs, 5 part time GPs and 2 locum GPs who worked in

          the practice for more than 6 months.
