Title
Weeping Cross HEALTH CENTRE, General Practice (GP) Surgery in Stafford. Appointments & Opening Times.
Description
From April 1st 2001 this practice became a 'Personal Medical Services' (PMS) pilot. The main ethos of operating under these new contractual arrangements is to reduce bureaucracy (number counting and filling in unnecessary forms within the health economy) and improve the services that the practice offers to our patients. The three year pilot affords us greater flexibility in being able to focus on the needs of our patients and tailor the delivery of care in the most efficient, responsive and effective manner.
To increase accessibility of our services. For example, we recently introduced two extra GP surgeries per week and in addition a weekly early morning surgery (7.15am - 9am) and a late evening surgery (5pm - 7pm). Our web site also offers online electronic repeat prescription requests.
To broaden the range of services available. We are currently running a pilot of telemedicine for dermatology. Our coronary heart disease clinics are also being improved.
