Proud to be a Safe Surgery

Everyone in the UK is entitled to register and consult with a GP. It means we can prevent and treat illness early and create a healthier society for everyone. Westgate Surgery is proud to be a Safe Surgery.

We recognise that barriers to healthcare access exist, particularly for migrants in vulnerable circumstances. However, we believe that small changes in practice can make a difference, ensuring that lack of ID or proof of address, immigration status or language are not barriers to patient registration. We are willing to lead by example and work to ensure that nobody in our community is excluded.

For more information on this Health Inclusion Initiative, please visit doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/safesurgeries/.

Translation service

If English is not your first language, or you have any other requirements, please ask at Reception to see if our translation service can help you. Please note that this is not always available straight away and may require an additional wait whilst a translator is sourced. This service is usually provided digitally rather than a translator attending in person.

Chaperones

Should you wish, patients are able to take someone into their appointment with them. However, should you wish someone to accompany you but do not have anyone with you, please ask at Reception if one of our team can act as a chaperone. Please note that we may also ask that a chaperone accompanies you in your meeting.

    Services

    At Westgate Surgery we offer a wide range of services to our patients.

    • Community Pharmacy Consultation Service Launch 

    GP CPCS provides a mechanism for patients to be referred by general practice to a community pharmacy for minor illnesses

    Using this new service can help alleviate pressure on GP appointments by harnessing the skills and knowledge of community pharmacists to treat a range of minor illnesses and allowing GPs to focus on more complex patients. 

    The service gives a patient a same-day appointment in a community pharmacy, face-to-face or remotely.

    Please note our Reception team may triage your call and make a digital referral to a convenient pharmacy where you will receive suitable treatment and advice on the same day.

    Here at Westgate, we are continually trying to improve our service. In particular, we are keen to Improve access to our service. Of late, we have been conscious that the wait for a routine appointment has lengthened. To try and address this, we have decided to make some changes to reduce missed appointments and improve how we plan our appointments throughout the day. By doing this, we will be able to increase the number of available routine appointments. This will involve:

    • DNA’s (Did Not Attend appointment) – Improved communication of appointment times and new 3-strike policy to reduce the number of wasted appointments. 
    • Urgent Same-Day appointments – All urgent on-the-day appointments need to be made before 11am to allow more routine appointments.  
    • Increased response to online queries. 
    • Please read more about the new policy here: Improve access to our service.

    Po przyjeździe na spotkanie, zaloguj się do korzystania z jednego z ekranów lub porozmawiaj z jednym z naszych zespołów recepcyjnych. Po zalogowaniu być może będziesz musiał poczekać, aby zobaczyć się z klinicystą. Tłumacz może ci pomóc, ale może to oznaczać dodatkowe oczekiwanie, aż ktoś będzie dostępny.

    当您到达服务以预约时,请使用其中一个屏幕签名或与我们的一个接待团队交谈。签名后,您可能需要等待去看临床医生。翻译人员可能能够为您提供帮助,但这可能意味着要等到有人可用。

    Když dorazíte do služby na schůzku, přihlaste se prosím pomocí jedné obrazovky nebo promluvte s jedním z našeho týmu recepce. Jakmile se přihlásíte, možná budete muset počkat na setkání s lékařem. Překladač vám pomůže, ale to znamená, že někdo bude muset čekat navíc
