We pleased to announce that Klinik is now live for our patients to use. Initially the system will be available to use between 8.30am and 10.30am. We welcome feedback through somccg.bsu-ryallspark@nhs.net
To further support this, we will be implementing a new telephone system in the coming month, which we hope in conjunction with the new online consultation system will start to demonstrate clear improvements at the Surgery.
We are so grateful to our patients for their support over the last few months since the integration of the practice into a new organisation and look forward to continuing to work together.
Lastly, we know that there will likely be the need for some adjustments following the implementation of the new telephone system and online consultation system and we ask that you are patient with us as we work through these.
Yours sincerely,
Dr David Cripps, Clinical Lead & Kathy Eke, Practice Manager
Access Klinic - our new on-line system
On the 1 April 2021, Ryalls Park Medical Centre officially became part of Symphony Healthcare Services (SHS).
Ryalls Park Medical Centre is the fifteenth surgery to join SHS, which now looks after the healthcare needs of around 88,000 patients.
To ensure that the transition is a smooth and easy one for everyone involved, we will be working closely with Dr Helen Day and the rest of the practice staff.
Our initial focus will be to provide stability to the practice for the patients as well as reviewing all of the functions and services over time so we can work towards achieving a good rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on their return. This is important because it helps us to provide reassurance that the healthcare services we provide are safe, effective and patient centred.
We look forward to working in collaboration with our patients in the development of practice services and processes.
We would like to thank everyone for their engagement in this transition process so far and hope that you will all start to see the benefits of the practice being part of a larger organisation.
If you have any questions, feedback or concerns, please do keep talking to us. It is important that we continue to listen and engage with everyone.
In the meantime, we would like to welcome the practice and the patients into the Symphony Healthcare Services family!
More information about SHS can be found on the Symphony Healthcare Services website.
Important Update - If your request requires contact with a GP or Nurse Practitioner you must phone the practice.
This change has been made following national technical difficulties and feedback from patients and the team.
