All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.
The average pay for GPs working in Eskdaill Medical in the last financial year ended 31st March 2021 was £62,978 before tax and national insurance.
This is for 1 full time GP, 5 part time GPs and 3 salaried GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.
The practice is required by the Government under the terms of the latest GP contract to allocate all patients a named accountable GP.
Individual patients will be informed of their named accountable GP at the first appropriate interaction with the practice.
The practice keeps a record of your usual (accountable) GP. If you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.
Please note: there is no need to telephone the practice for this information.
Where a patient expresses a preference as to which GP they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request.
Having a named GP does not prevent you seeing any other doctor in the practice. Your named GP will not be available at all times and if your needs are urgent, you may need to discuss them with an alternative doctor.
The NHS App allows access to online service to people over the age of 13. You do not need to contact us to set this up.
Parents/guardians of children under the age of 11 are now able to request proxy access (parental responsibility is required).
The access will automatically cease on your child's 11th birthday.
Please telephone our reception team and they will organise this for you.
***PLEASE NOTE*** We will always act in the best interest of the child. We reserve the right to refuse the request for proxy access.
On 27th January 2016 Eskdaill Medical launched the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS).
With EPS Patients are able to order their prescriptions in the usual way but can collect their medication without the green paper prescription. The prescription will be sent electronically instead.
For patients to use this service they will need to nominate (choose) a pharmacy where they would like the prescription to be sent to. This can be any pharmacy so long as they are ready for EPS (98% are). To nominate the patient will need to tell the receptionist and talk to the pharmacy concerned.
Not all medications can be prescribed in this way, however the practice can confirm what these drugs are.
