Patient Participation Group

Due to lack of participants - We do not have our own patient participation group (PPG) however there is a Barsnsley wide group held at the Priory Centre for all Barnsley patients. St Georges Medical Practice patients are more than welcome to attend this but should we get enough interest in the practice, we will set our own individual group up.

Medicines Waste

Only order the items you need

Check what medicines you have at home before re-ordering.
If you don’t need the medicine this time please don’t order it. It will not disappear from your prescription.

Return any unwanted medicine to a pharmacy for safe disposal

Unused medicines expire and might not work as you need them to.

Check your medicine bag before you leave the pharmacy and return any unwanted medication

If you return any unwanted medication before you leave the pharmacy, the medicine can be reused.

Tell your GP practice if you no longer want or need a medication

Letting your GP practice know if you no longer want or need a medication saves the NHS time and money as well as helping to protect our medicinal supply lines and environment.

Did you know?

Medicines waste costs the NHS around £300 million per year? That's enough to fund 7.6 million GP appointments.
When flushed down toilets or put into bins, medicines waste can pollute our waterways and get into our soil, causing harmful pollution to our environment.
Inhalers, even after the medication has been used can leak harmful greenhouse gasses if not disposed of correctly.
Unused or incorrectly stored medicine can be dangerous to pets and children.
Over-ordering medicinal supplies contributes to medicines shortages.

Artificial Intelligence - Heidi AI

We now use auto-transcription software, which allows our clinicians to focus on patient care. The software is Heidi AI and records the consultation and transcribes this for the clinicians to enter into the patients medical records.

We have completed a Data Protection Inpact Assessment which can be found here

If any patient does not wish for this software to be used, please let the clinician know at the beginning of your consultation.
