Our Commitment To You
At Manor View Practice, we believe in mutual respect, kindness, and open communication between patients and staff.
Our approach to behaviour, dignity, and equality is set out in the Patient Charter which explains what you can expect from us, and what we ask from you in return.
Out Of Area Patients
If you move outside our practice boundary but wish to remain registered:
We will assess whether it is clinically appropriate for you to stay on our list.
You must agree to attend the surgery for appointments, as we cannot provide home visits outside our area.
You can read more about this in the Patient Charter.
Changing GP Surgeries
You can change your GP surgery if you need to.
This might be because:
- you have moved
- you have had problems with your current practice
- you were removed from the patient list
Please let us know promptly if you change address especially if you move outside our boundary, so we can advise you about ongoing care and home-visit eligibility.
Temporary Resident
Using our practice if you’re not registered with us is simple. You can contact any GP surgery if you need treatment, especially if:
- You’re away from home.
- You’re not registered with a GP surgery.
- It’s a medical emergency.
If you need treatment for more than 14 days, you might need to register as a temporary resident or permanent patient.
You can register as a temporary resident for up to 3 months. You’ll still be registered with your usual GP surgery if you have one.
Manor View Practice welcomes patients who are temporarily resident in the practice area for medical advice. If you need treatment, please inform reception that you’re a temporary resident when you arrive.
To register as a temporary patient at the practice please visit our Temporary Resident page
Registering With A GP Under The Mental Capacity Act
The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) is designed to protect and empower people over 16 who are unable to make decisions about their care and treatment.
If a person is unable to register with a GP because they cannot make decisions about their care, registration can be done by:
- a relative
- the main carer
- a lasting power of attorney
- a person appointed by a court under the Mental Capacity Act
Named Accountable GP For All Patients
At Manor View Practice, every patient has a named doctor who is responsible for their care and support. If you prefer to see a different doctor, you’re free to continue doing so just as before.
We have a team of clinicians who can speak multiple languages, including Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Urdu, Bengali, and Polish. Our appointment times are designed to accommodate everyone’s needs.
Proxy Access
Proxy Access allows someone other than the patient to access and manage parts of their GP online services account. The proxy receives their own online access account, separate from the patient’s login details. It’s commonly used by parents or recognised carers of young children, as well as recognised carers of adults.
To grant access to authorised care staff, agreement must be reached among the resident/patient or their representative, the care home, and the patient’s GP practice. Access is typically given from the date of admission to the care home, but longer retrospective access can be granted if agreed upon by the GP and deemed beneficial to the resident.
GP practices can configure their clinical systems to allow access to specific elements of the GP records, agreed upon locally. Care home staff cannot see anything that the GP practice does not permit. However, if a resident does want care home staff to have proxy access to any part of their record, including requesting repeat medicines, the care home must follow established procedures and continue to work with paper records.
