Patient Registration Form: Supplementary Questions Questions

These questions and the patient declaration are optional and your answers will not affect your entitlement to register or receive services from your GP.

Patient Registration Form: PATIENT DECLARATION FOR ALL PATIENTS WHO ARE NOT ORDINARILY RESIDENT IN THE UK

Anybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice. However, if you are not 'ordinarily resident' in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of 'indefinite leave to remain' in the UK. Some services, such as diagnostic tests to suspected infectious diseases and any treatment of those diseases are free of charge to all people, while some groups who are not ordinarily resident here are exempt from all treatment charges. More information on ordinary residence, exemptions and paying for NHS services can be found in the Visitor and Migrant patient leaflet, available from your GP practice. You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment. The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.

Patient Registration Form: I DECLARE THAT THE INFORMATION I GIVE ON THIS FORM IS CORRECT AND COMPLETE. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF IT IS NOT CORRECT, APPROPRIATE ACTION MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST ME.

A parent/guardian should complete the form on behalf of a child under 16.

Patient Registration Form: HOW WILL YOUR EHIC/PRC/S1 DATA BE USED?

Your clinical data will not be shared in the cost recovery process. Your EHIC, PRC or S1 information will be shared with The Department for Work and Pensions for the purpose of recovering your NHS costs from your home country.

Alcohol

27% of men and 15% of women in the UK drink excessively, placing themselves at an increased risk of future health or social problems (ONS 1998). The Department of Health guidelines for safe drinking state that: - For men, drinking between 3 and 4 units of alcohol a day or less indicates no significant risk to health. Regularly drinking 4 or more units of alcohol a day indicate an increased risk. - For women, drinking 2 and 3 units a day or less indicates no significant health risk. Regularly drinking 3 or more units a day signifies an increased risk to health. It is recommended that people do not drink up to the recommended limits every day. Approximately 1 unit= 1/2 pint f beer/1 measure of spirit/1 glass of wine. Please book an appointment if you would like help reducing your alcohol consumption.

You can choose to have additional information included in your SCR, which can enhance the care you receive. This information includes: - Your illnesses and health problems - Operations and vaccinations you have had in the past - How you would like to be treated- such as where you would prefer to receive care - What support you might need - Who should be contacted for more information about you What to do next?

Carers' Register

Haverhill Family Practice is currently updating updating their Carers Register. Are You A Carer? Do you care for someone? Do you care for your mother, father, child or somebody else? Do you have a parent, child or someone else that has a physical or mental illness, long term or life limiting condition and or needs additional support? Do you care for anyone full or part time? If this is the case you are 'caring' for them. Please let us know if you do care for somebody, even a friend or neighbour. We as a surgery can offer you additional support to help with this. In the winter months for instance, you would be entitled to a free flu vaccination. We know how flu can affect those with chest problems, the elderly, the vulnerable, friends or family members and if you protect yourself, you can help to protect those you care for by having an annual flu vaccination, therefore preventing the likelihood of you getting flu, or getting it as severely. This could help to prevent the spread of infection to a child or and adult from getting flu which in some cases can result in a hospital admission. We have Suffolk Family Carers that come to the surgery on a regular basis who offer help, support, kindness and our doctors can offer respite on prescription if required. We have lots of information in our waiting room at both Camps Road and at Crown Passage (Stourview) that can help with any issues, concerns or worries you may currently have. There are leaflets and telephone numbers that may be of use to you. You can contact Suffolk Family Carers directly by telephone on: 01473 835407. Or go to their website www.suffolkfamilycarers.org or email their team at healthteam@suffolkfamilycarers.org. If you think that you might be a 'carer' of someone, please complete the questions below.





Your baby's vaccination schedule

Don't forget to book your 6-8 week baby check (your baby needs to be registered with one of our doctors by this time) and your post-natal examination with the Doctor prior to having your baby vaccinated. Once you have had your post-natal examination and baby check- book your appointment at reception for your baby to have their vaccinations. One of the best ways to protect your baby against diseases like measles, rubella, tetanus and meningitis is through immunisation. Your baby needs their first injections at 8 weeks, then 12 weeks, 16 weeks and one year. Bring your red book to all vaccination appointments. Vaccinations are offered free of charge in the UK- just book your appointments with your GP. Remember, as well as protecting your own baby, you're also protecting other babies and children by preventing the spread of disease. These are the vaccinations your baby will need: 8 weeks: - 6-in-1 vaccine - PCV (pneumococcal) vaccine - RV (rotavirus) vaccine - MenB vaccine 12 weeks: - 6-in-1 vaccine- 2nd dose - RV (rotavirus) vaccine- 2nd dose 16 weeks: - 6-in-1 vaccine- 3rd dose - PCV (pneumococcal) vaccine- 2nd dose - MenB vaccine- 2nd dose 1 year: - Hib/MenC vaccine given as a single jab containing vaccines against meningitis C (1st dose) and Hib (4th dose) - MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella), given as a single jab - PCV (pneumococcal)- 3rd dose - MenB vaccine- 3rd dose

A quick guide to your baby's vaccinations

- 6-in1 protects against: - Diphtheria- a highly contagious bacterial infection, spread by coughs and sneezes, or close contact with someone with diphtheria. - Hepatitis b- an infection of the liver caused by a virus spread through blood and bodily fluids. - Hib (haemophilus influenzae type b)- bacteria that can cause several serious conditions including meningitis, sepsis (a king of blood poisoning) and cellulitis. - Polio- a viral infection that can cause paralysis. - Tetanus- bacteria that can enter the body through a wound like a cut or scrape. - Whooping cough (pertussis)- a highly contagious bacterial infection of the lungs and airways. - PCV or pneumo jab protects against pneumococcal infections that can lead to pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis. - RV protects against rotavirus infection that can cause diarrhoea and vomiting. - MenB protects against meningitis and sepsis - Hib/MenC protects against haemophilus influenzae (a bacterium that can cause different serious illnesses) and meningitis C. - MMR protects against measles, mumps and rubella (German measles).
