Carrington House Surgery

Important Announcement from Carrington House Surgery – withdrawal of unfunded service

For some time, we have been providing an unfunded post-operative wound care service for the convenience of our patients, despite the funding to provide post-operative wound care being received by the hospitals.

This service has been especially valuable for those needing regular care but struggling with the travel distance to the relevant hospitals.

We regret that, due to increasing demands on our nursing team and financial pressures on NHS General Practice overall (https://www.bma.org.uk/…/responding-to-the-new-gp…), we can no longer continue to provide this service for which the hospital receives payment as continuing to do so compromises our ability to deliver our core General Practice Services.

What does this mean for you?

• From 31st August 2024 we will no longer offer post-operative wound care to any new post operative patients. This includes post-operative wound care from all private and NHS services including dermatology, surgery, and urgent care. Patients will be required to receive ongoing wound care from these services directly.

• We cannot offer dressings or wound care for wounds obtained via trauma or other injury, as the surgery does not have contract to provide care for Minor Injuries.

• Patients currently receiving wound care will continue to be offered a maximum of two dressing changes per week until they are healed and discharged.

• Patients who are housebound will be able to receive post-operative wound care from the local District Nursing service. This should be arranged by the hospital service directly at the time of discharge.

• We will continue to offer post-operative clip/suture removal as this is a separate contracted service.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Practice forms and registration

Though all practice forms can be found on their relevant page, on this page we provide an overview which includes all of our practice forms with links to the page each form is found on. You may be directed to this page by one of our clinicians or administrative staff to help you find a form to complete and help in your care.

There are two types of forms:

  • Downloadable forms: You can bring the completed form to the surgery, or post or email it to us, using our details found under Contact Us.
  • Online forms: which you can open, complete and submit to the surgery directly.

Forms have been colour coded to make them easier to find on relevant pages.

If you have any difficulties with downloading forms or submitting online forms, please speak to reception who will help you. We also have spare forms in reception.
