Both these services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and mean that you do not have to wait on the phone to speak to a Care Navigator. It will also help to free up reception time, which helps both you the patient and the practice. We are trying to free up the telephone to enable patients quicker access to the surgery, especially if they have an emergency. We thank you for co-operation with this, but also hope you will prefer the new systems. We have had very positive feedback so far.

We have now received the report from our first CQC inspection and we are delighted to have passed this achieving a ‘good’ rating in all categories. Please see the report below:

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in Kingthorne Group Practice in the last financial year was £80,694 before tax and National insurance. This is for 1 full time GP and 6 part time GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.

Tramadol is a synthetic analgesic (painkiller) which has opiate and non-opiate properties. Its action is unpredictable and it has the potential to interact with many commonly prescribed medicines eg antidepressants. Tramadol has the potential to cause addiction and has been implicated in overdose, misuse and patient related death.

As a practice we do not support the prescribing of Tramadol.

If you are a new patient to the surgery, we will not continue to prescribe this medication – you will be required to book an appointment to discuss alternatives. Current patients taking tramadol will need to book a medication review to discuss a reduction/withdrawal plan.
