Philosophy of Care

Our aim is to provide to our patients a safe and comprehensive service that ensures quality of life and helps prevent disease and disability. We wish to promote and support the physical and emotional health of each individual.

We are a multi-disciplinary team dedicated to providing accessible, patient-focused quality health care in a timely, cost-effective and friendly manner.

Repeat Medications. Please order your repeat medications by handing in your repeat slip with the relevant boxes ticked to the Dispensary Staff. Your medications will normally be ready for collection the next work day. If we cannot achieve this, we will contact you. Please note, the repeat slip is only valid if the review date at the bottom is current.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Formal Visits. During Formal Staff Visits and GP Training Practice Re-accreditation Visits, the visiting team carry out quality control checks on a proportion of service and NHS health records. Any confidential medical information about any individual will not be divulged by the visiting team; however, individuals have the right to deny the team access to their records. 

Action Required by Service Personnel. Service personnel are to inform their dependants who are registered with the Medical Centre of their right to deny access.

Action to Deny Access. Any individual service or civilian who does not wish their records to be inspected, should inform the Senior Medical Office in writing.

Referral Mechanism. All emergency referrals are sent to Peterborough District Hospital (PDH). Service personnel and their dependants are routinely referred to the nearest Military District Hospital Unit (MDHU) at Peterborough or Stamord and Rutland Hospital.

Out of Hours Medical Cover

Out of hours medical cover is covered by the Lincolnshire South West Primary Care Trust. This service is based at the Primary Care Centre; adjacent to the Accident and Emergency Department at Stamford & Rutland Hospital and is staffed by specially trained nurses, paramedics and doctors.
