Green Impact Award - we are making an impact! 

Our UNESCO-award winning Green Impact programme runs in universities, students' unions, healthcare, research institutes, and cultural heritage sites. No matter where it runs, Green Impact aims to engage staff with sustainability, develop widespread understanding of sustainability, and support positive action within teams and departments.

In 2022, the Green Impact model was used by 428 organisations including NHS Trusts, universities, GP surgeries, heritage sites, local councils, and research institutes in the UK, Europe and Australasia. More than 1,100 teams formed across these organisations, reaching nearly 100,000 people, and these teams completed more than 28,000 positive sustainability actions and projects. 4,382 members of staff were actively involved in a Green Impact team and 880 students were trained as volunteers, supporting both staff and students to learn about, and lead on, sustainability within their organisations.

Ecclesfield Group Practice have been part of this project and achieved the bronze award 

(April 2023)

Local GP practices have teamed up to improve the way we provide weekend and evening appointment for our patients.  

This new service will begin on Saturday 1^st October it and will mean that most people will be able to book weekend and evening appointments closer to where they live. For our patients we will be providing appointments will be provided at Burncross Surgery and Fairlawns Medical Centre. 

Remote and face-to-face appointments can be made with a variety of GP practice staff including Doctors, Advance Care Practitioners, Nurses, Nurse Associates, Health Care Assistants, Physiotherapists and, Pharmacists. 

Initially appointments can be booked through you practice, but we will soon be adding the option for patients to book direct online and through NHS 111.  

There is a car park at the surgery with spaces available for a limited number of patients. Please use this when you are visiting the surgery.  If the car park is full and you need to park on the street, please try to ensure you are not blocking the local residents access to their homes.  

Many thanks

Data Opt Out Information

You may be aware of a new NHS Digital initiative https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/data-collections-and-data-sets/data-collections/general-practice-data-for-planning-and-research  to extract information from GP records for research and other purposes. Patients might want to opt out of this data collection and there are 2 different requirements to opt out:

1. Type 1 data opt out - Urgent action required as the opt out window closes on 23 June 2021

•  This is to protect GP data held on your system. Patients need to complete a form and leave it at reception. https://nhs-prod.global.ssl.fastly.net/binaries/content/assets/website-assets/data-and-information/data-collections/general-practice-data-for-planning-and-research/type-1-opt-out-form.docx
