Danetre Medical Practice

Please note….. The practice doors are only open for patients who have been asked to attend for an appointment by one of our clinicians.

If you have been asked to attend for an appointment can you please enter the practice alone where ever possible. Please DO NOT bring family members along. We are also asking those patients who do need to attend the surgery to wear a face mask or covering to help to ensure the safety of both themselves and of all of our staff and patients. Please be aware that we are unable to provide masks, if you attend without a face covering you will be asked to rarrange your appointment. **

Please DO NOT attend the practice for any other reason.

Please ring 01327 703333 with any other queries, prescriptions etc. Our patients services advisors will be happy to help and advise.

You will not be allowed into the practice if you do not have an appointment.

We would like to thank you for you understanding at this time.

**Face coverings should not be used by children under the age of 11 or those who may find it difficult to manage them correctly. For example, primary age children unassisted, or those with respiratory conditions**

Can real life mental health recovery stories help you with your own mental health journey?

Researchers from the Institute of Mental Health, University of Nottingham are running a trial looking at the benefits of accessing other people’s recovery stories. Participants will have online access to the world’s largest collection of recovery stories for up to one year. If you’d like to take part, you will also be asked to give feedback on the stories and complete some questionnaires. For more information see recoverystories.uk

NGH have set up a relative support line so people can check in on the current condition of family members or loved ones. To use this service, the person will need to know the patient’s full name, ward location, date of birth and NHS number where possible. The team will check in with the ward to obtain details on the patient’s condition. The person will then receive a call back with this information. To use this service, please dial 01604 545784. The line is open on: Monday to Friday - 9:00am until 5:00pm Saturday and Sunday - 10:00am until 4:00pm This line cannot be used for advice on upcoming appointments or admissions.

A support line has been launched to support the most vulnerable people in Northamptonshire during the coronavirus crisis.

The helpline, which will be managed by the Customer Service Centre at Northamptonshire County Council, went live on Tuesday 31^st March.

It allows those who cannot leave their homes under current restrictions and those who are self-isolating and have nobody to call upon for help to request support in getting access to food, prescriptions and other vital services that they require.  It means that care can be provided to those that really need help.  It applies to those with existing health conditions, those who are pregnant or those aged 70 and above.

Each call to the helpline will be triaged so that individuals receive the care and support that is appropriate to their needs.

The Community Resilience Service will co-ordinate requests for help in conjunction with the district and borough councils, mapping those requests by area and linking them up with local community groups, volunteers and voluntary organisations who have pledged their support.

Those requiring help are asked to call the support line on 0300 126 1000 (option 5).

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.

Where to find us

NHS England has recommended that medicines for minor ailments such as hay fever, insect bites, sunburn, colds and dry skin should no longer be routinely prescribed. In making these changes £136 million could be saved each year. In Northamptonshire the NHS spends around £5.4 million a year on minor ailments, money which could be used to support vital healthcare that can transform lives.

Medication for many minor illnesses can be purchased from your local Pharmacy, who can also provide advice, meaning you will not have to wait for an appointment at your GP Practice for a prescription, therefore freeing up appointments for patients with more serious conditions.
