Healthy Lives Advisor children and young people

Social Prescribing for children and young people aged 11- 18 years.

Children and young people’s Social Prescribing is a non-medical approach to improving your health and wellbeing. It can help you to have more control over your own health and find ways to improve how you feel in a way that suits you; The Healthy Lives Advisor for children and young people will work together with you to develop an action plan around what matters to you.  Children and young people might be referred to the Health Lives Advisor for a range of issues including:

 

  • Children and young people who may feel isolated and want support to meet other people
  • Children and young people who may have a long-term chronic health condition which would be helped through community activities
  • Children and young people who may need help to find support or advice with practical issues such as money or housing
  • Children and young people who may want help and support with their wellbeing and education.

Social Prescribing is not designed to replace medical support but getting involved with local groups and activities can help you get better and feel better faster than medicine alone. Your Healthy Lives Advisor might introduce you to a community group or a new activity. They may help you to meet new people or, they might help you find information or access advice about a particular issue.

A referral can be made to the Healthy Lives Advisor by your GP.

PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NURSE FOR YOUR HEALTH CHECK

What is an NHS Health Check?

The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. It's designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk.

Online access for Patients

As a practice we are keen to ensure we provide our patients with access to our services in a way that suits them. In doing this we are also committed to ensure that we continue to comply with the law associated with Access to Health Records Act 1990 and  GDPR 2018.

In recent years technology has developed at such apace that we are no longer dependant on traditional methods for providing access to the surgery i.e. Booking appointments by telephone or visiting the surgery and making requests for repeat prescriptions on paper.

We are therefore implementing a new system, alongside our current telephone/paper based systems which will enable patients’ to book appointments and make requests for repeat prescriptions via the internet, via the Internet on a smart phone or via the dedicated SystmOnline iOS App available from the Apple App Store.

Please read the above attachment before continuing

When registered you will be able to:



    •  Find available doctor appointment slots

    •  Book new appointments. Appointments may be booked up to a maximum of 21 days ahead.

    •  View appointments you have already booked

    •  Cancel appointments

    •  Make request for your repeat prescriptions

    •  Check how many issues of a prescription you have left and when you last requested an item

    •  Check the dosage instructions of any prescription item

    •  Access information about the prescription item from your online access account



To ensure we do this and protect their rights to confidentiality and comply with Access to Health Records Act 1990 and GDPR2018 we have developed this policy to ensure we comply.

We will provide online access to our booking and repeat prescription requesting systems for:



    • any patient over the age of 16 to access their own online access account;

    • parents/guardians to access the online access account for any of their children under the age of 16;[1]

    • formal carers with access to patients’ online access account who they are recognised as formal carer of;

    • a power of attorney with access to patients who have a legally recognised as power of attorney for.



We also ask that patients use the system responsibly so have some basic terms and conditions which we ask the applicant to sign up to.

Once we have received the correct documentation (see below) we will take copies of the identity documents you provide.   Once we have processed your application we will provide you with a document containing the pin number and log-on details which will allow you to access the online access account you have requested.

When you have received your pin number and log-on details you can visit https://systmonline.tpp-uk.com/ on any PC, Laptop or Tablet device.   You can also access your Online Access account via the Apple AppStore (Search for SystmOneline).
