Sometimes, the answer to improving an individual’s health or wellbeing lies not in a medical prescription, but in ensuring they have company, interests and changes of scene to make them feel connected, motivated and purposeful. Or, perhaps, more exercise is needed to keep their body strong and their mind stimulated. Even if people are aware of this, they don’t always know where to start – and that’s where social prescribing comes in.

Home visits are for those patients who are too ill to attend surgery and only when absolutely necessary.
Doctors are restricted with the examination/investigations they can carry out in the home.
If you feel you need a home visit please telephone as early in the day as possible. It helps us to judge the urgency of the call if you describe the symptoms, so do expect to be asked.
Please cancel any appointment that you cannot attend, otherwise you deprive another patient from getting an appointment.
If you need help when we are closed use NHS 111 online or call 111.
Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.
We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.
To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.

Medical examinations for special purposes such as pre-employment, fitness to travel, elderly drivers, fitness to undertake sports etc., will require longer than a routine appointment.
These examinations do not form part of NHS Services, you will be charged for any such examination. Please inform the receptionist when arranging such appointments.
Halcyon Medical will have present in the practice clinical and non-clinical personnel (medical students, student nurses, doctors, paramedics, work experience students) who we refer to as 'observers'.
As part of their professional development and learning, they need to witness clinical consultations. Our observers are completing an important phase of their training and your support will help them achieve their learning objectives.
You will be told if your clinician has an observer present and asked if you are happy for them to remain during the consultation.
Don't worry; if you are not happy, they will leave before your clinician begins the consultation as we want you to feel as comfortable as possible during the consultation.
Teaching and Training
Postgraduate doctors in training
Halcyon Medical is a teaching practice and we are involved in the teaching and mentoring of postgraduate doctors in training (junior Dr's). These are trained and fully qualified doctors who have experience in hospitals and now wish to become GPs.
These registrars undertake all aspects of being a GP (consultations, house visits etc), and are under the supervision of one of the doctors in the practice during their time at the practice.
Medical Students
The surgery is a recognised training practice and is involved with teaching medical students linked to Birmingham University and Aston university
Therefore on occasions students may be present or involved during some of the consultations. This will only occur if the patient has consented for the students to be present, and all consultation details will remain in confidence.
Should you wish for students not to be present during your consultation, then this will not affect your care or consultation with the doctor in any way.
In addition to attending consultations, the students also sometimes need to talk to patients with certain illnesses to aid them in their training. Should you be interested in helping them, then please let reception know.
