Last Updated: 26/04/2024

Patient details





















Information about you

If you did not wish to disclose this information please say this in the text box below



Consent to contact

Please note not being able to send you SMS messages will mean that we won't be able to send you our automatic appointment reminders or to let you know if we've received a test result as this is typically an automatic system. 

If you do not want us to have this permission, we can still assist with your medical needs but we need to confirm that you are aware of the impact it may have for your accessibility to the service.





Contact Preference


Next of Kin

Your next of kin details are requested so we are able to contact a family member or friend if you are needing assistance at the surgery.

 





Third Party Consent

Your third party contact will be someone who can organise appointments on your behalf, collect prescriptions or fit notes and discuss your care with a clinician. Please be advised that your next of kin and third party are listed separately as they will have different permissions on your medical file.

Please note once a patient reaches their 16th birthday, they will need to complete a consent form in order for their third party contact to discuss care with a clinician, on behalf of the patient. This includes immediate family members.






Nominated Pharmacy

Where would you like to collect your prescriptions?

By filling out the below information you are confirming that you consent to send your prescriptions electronically to your nominated pharmacy.



Record Sharing

This GP practice is able to share your electronic GP record with healthcare professions caring for you elsewhere e.g. in community, hospital or urgent care services. This may help in your care and may save you from needing to remember your medical history and medications. This surgery uses a computer system called SystemOne that allows the sharing of full electronic records across different health services if patient consent is given. There are two ways in which your information can be shared.

Sharing Out - This controls whether your information entered at this surgery can be shared with other NHS services

Sharing In - This controls whether information that has been made shareable at other NHS services can be viewed by the surgery



Access to System On Line and NHS App

This will provide you access to request ongoing medication, to book some clinician appointments and access to prospective Full Record Access


Please help us trace your medical records by providing the following information




If you are from abroad

Please note that if you have not been registered with a GP Practice before and were not born in the UK we will need the date you came to the UK to be able to register you.

Medical Information

















Medications We Don't Prescribe

Please be aware we restrict some of the medications we prescribe at Park Crescent due to their addictive nature and associated negative side effects. This follows current best evidence for prescribing.

 

There are some medications that we will not prescribe and if you join the practice, already on these medications, then we will organise an appointment with you in order to discuss this and wean you off them.

 

The drugs in question come under the following categories

 

1. Benzodiazepines e.g. diazepam - we do not prescribe this medication

2. Sleeping tablets e.g. zopiclone

3. Opiate based medication for non-cancer pain when used for more than 12 weeks e.g. zomorph, zapain

If you are uncertain the medication you are on comes under any of these categories please ask the reception team who will forward a query to the pharmacy team and / or clinician as appropriate.

In order to ensure that your medication needs are assessed appropriately, we offer all new patients a medication review.


Alcohol











Carers






Routine HIV Testing at Park Crescent

HIV (Human Immune-Deficiency Virus) is a virus which attacks the body's immune system, making it difficult to fight infections. The only way to identify the people affected is to encourage everyone to have a HIV test. 

We offer routine HIV tests on all our patients as recommended by the Department of Health, either on registration or as part of routine care. This is because:

  • It is best practice and recommended nationally
  • Brighton and Hove have the highest levels of HIV in the country, outside of London
  • Around a quarter of people with HIV do not know that they have it because they have not taken a test
  • HIV can now be treated very successfully with medication which can keep people healthy and well and prevent further transmission.

Please book an appointment if you would like to take a test, or let the clinician know at any routine blood test appointments.

Please note: This blood test will ONLY cover routine HIV testing. This will NOT INCLUDE any other tests. If you would like to arrange a blood test, not in relation to routine HIV testing, please contact Reception to arrange a GP consultation.
