ANIMA

ANIMA!

From 1st April all Practices are required to offer patients an "assessment of need" on first contact, so we have introduced Anima!
Patients requesting an appointment with a clinician will need to complete a request using Anima via the link below.
 
(Please note this does not apply for any appointments in our Treatment Room)
 
If you are unable to do this online our Patient Services Care Co-ordinators will be able to continue to help you over the phone. Your request will be handled in exactly the same manner whether you complete the Anima request online yourself or contact us via the telephone to ensure equity of access to all patients.
 
Completing an Anima request online yourself provides you with more discretion should you prefer not to discuss your medical problem with one of our Patient Services Care Co-ordinators.
 
To log in, please follow the below link or select the Anima icon above:

Welcome message from Jo Gilford - Practice Manager

Welcome to Danetre Medical Practice

Here at Danetre Medical Practice we are a compassionate and committed provider of clinical excellence.

Our staff are motivated to achieve their maximum potential and deliver diverse, local and patient centred services.

To ensure we provide first-rate, cost effective healthcare we work closely with our patients and listen to what they have to say. After all, patients are the key part of any Medical Practice so we take pride in giving them a voice.

The Practice itself is located in close proximity to Daventry Town centre in a modern building adjoining Danetre Hospital (a community hospital which opened in September 2006) offering a wide range of services and delivering a high standard of care.

Also attached to the Practice operating independently is Boots Chemist.

Contained within the site is a purpose built free car parking provision for visitors and staff.

All employers are expected to park within the car parks adjacent to the boundary of the site allowing the car parks nearer the Practice and Hospital to be used by patients visiting the site.

Accredited GP Training Practice

Dr Trudy Lewis is a qualified trainer within the practice

General Practice Training

Danetre Medical Practice participates in the General Practice Vocational Training Scheme, whereby fully qualified doctors wishing to enter general practice receive three years’ further training. From time to time one of these doctors (GP registrars) will be based here for a period of up to 12 months and will be available for consultations. Dr Trudy Lewis is the qualified trainer.

At any time if you do not wish to have a trainee GP or medical student observing at your consultation please feel free to bring this to the attention of the receptionist or GP. At no time will this decision prejudice your care with us.

As part of their training the GP registrars have to video record some of their consultations as part of their assessment. You may be asked by the receptionists if you would be happy to take part in this if you have an appointment with the GP registrar. At any time you are able to say “no” to being videotaped and this will not prejudice the way your consultation is viewed or handled in any way.

If you are happy to be videotaped the receptionist will ask you to read a letter about the process and to sign a consent form. At the end of your consultation, if you don’t wish the tape to be used, you can state this and the tape will be erased.
