About the surgery

Welcome to Cannington Health Centre

Our aims are:

  • to ensure that expert, compassionate healthcare is available to all our patients
  • to involve our patients in the management of their own health
  • to enable our patients to achieve the best quality of life for as long as possible

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

GP earnings

All GPs are required to declare the mean earnings for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

Veteran Friendly

Cannington Health Centre is an accredited Veteran Friendly GP Practice and we are proud to support our Armed Forces Community.

When individuals leave the UK Armed Forces, it’s important for them to register with an NHS GP practice and tell them they’ve served. This means their GP can better understand their health, particularly any health problems relating to their time in service.
NHS England, together with the Office for Veterans' Affairs, is running a campaign to encourage veterans to let their GP practice know they have served in the UK Armed Forces; it's important to ‘say you served’.
If you have served in the UK armed forces, please inform a member of the reception team so we can ensure that your medical records are updated.

Medical Reports & Subject Access Requests

Our practice has decided to outsource our medical reporting work to an NHS Digital accredited company called iGPR.

iGPR will be processing your medical reports and Subject Acess Requests (SAR) and providing online access via their secure encrypted portal.

iGPR is fully compliant with best business and NHS security standards for the management of patient data. iGPR is compliant with the Data Security and Protection Toolkit. This replaces the Information Governance Toolkit. All organisations that have access to NHS patient data and systems must use this toolkit. This ensures the practice of good data security and that personal information is handled correctly.

iGPR are a NHS Digital accredited company who have developed a digital system, which enables GP practices to create digital, GDPR compliant medical reports.

iGPR helps GP Surgeries with data security, speed and efficiency.

iGPR has worked hard to develop their NHS GP IT Futures accredited technology, which interfaces with our GP practice’s system to extract your medical record. This means you can receive a full copy of that information securely and share it with others as you wish, keeping your data safe.
