Have you been invited for your 3 yearly mammogram? Don’t delay in booking your appointment. Anyone registered with a GP as female will be invited for NHS breast screening every 3 years between the ages of 50 and 71. You'll get a letter in the post inviting you. You'll automatically get your first invite for breast screening between the ages of 50 and 53. Then you'll be invited every 3 years until you turn 71. During breast screening you'll have 4 breast X-rays (mammograms), 2 for each breast. The mammogram only takes a few minutes and the whole appointment should take about 30 minutes. ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/breast-screening-mammogram/ ➡️ https://www.yorkhospitals.nhs.uk/our-services/organdonation/a-z-of-services/breast-screening-service/

PMG is a Safe Surgery - this is any GP practice which commits to taking steps to tackle the barriers faced by many migrants in accessing healthcare. At a minimum, this means declaring your practice a ‘Safe Surgery’ for everyone and ensuring that lack of ID or proof of address, immigration status or language are not barriers to patient registration. For more information visit this website or see the poster here.
Summary Care Record
The NHS in England is introducing the Summary Care Record, which will be used in emergency care situations. The record will contain information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had to ensure those caring for you have enough information to treat you safely. This information will be available to authorised health care staff providing your care anywhere in England.
We recommend that you read this information available from the NHS by visiting www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk or by telephoning the helpline on 0300 123 3020.
Your decision is required when registering with Priory Medical Group.
NHS England Out of Area Scheme
PMG are not currently signed up to the NHS England Out of Area Scheme. Any patients formally registered on the scheme from before 2018 will have their status honoured, but would be encouraged to consider registration at a local GP practice, as all community services are being closely aligned with GP practice geographical boundaries. For information about practices offering this scheme, please contact NHS111.
