April 2021 News

Training and Teaching

You may be aware that most of the GPs at Danes Camp & Rillwood Medical Practice Partnership have significant experience as GP trainers providing education and clinical supervision for Medical Students and GP Registrars at Danes Camp Medical Centre.

In engaging the same GP trainers it is anticipated that Rillwood Medical Centre will also become a training practice for Medical Students and Registrars from as early as the end of April 2021.

Our qualified GP trainers will be actively involved in mentoring and supervising each clinical consultation. You will be informed if a student or registrar will be taking a role in your consultation (telephone or face-to-face) and your consent will be sought prior to them consulting with you. They are bound by the same rules of confidentiality and professional conduct as all of our regularly employed clinicians.

When We Are Closed

Some Useful Telephone Numbers

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  

Extended Hours appointments at the GP Surgery: A limited number of telephone and face-to-face appointments are available before 8am on Wednesday and Thursday mornings with our Health Care Assistant e.g. blood tests or blood pressure checks. Additional appointments for Rillwood M.C. patients can also be accessed at Danes Camp Medical Centre on Thursday evenings from 6.30pm. Please speak to the Receptionists at Rillwood Medical Centre if you are interested in booking any of these appointments.

If the Practice is closed please continue to use the NHS 111 service to contact the Out-of-Hours service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation. They will also be able to book an appointment for you with the GP Extended Access Service. Please note that your consent will be required in order for an appointment to be booked for you.

Call 111 if:

  • you need medical help fast but it's not a 999 emergency
  • you think you need to go to A&E or need another NHS urgent care service
  • you don't know who to call or you don't have a GP to call
  • you need health information or reassurance about what to do next

If urgent care is required, please call ‘111’ for further advice. If your need is life threatening, please go to A&E or call 999.
