MIG

MEDICAL INTEROPERABILITY GATEWAY

From time to time it is helpful for us to be able to share information about your health and care requirements with other health organisations that are responsible for providing you with healthcare. Across Nottinghamshire we are introducing a new system called MIG (Medical Interoperability Gateway) which will enable us to make relevant medical information available from your GP record with other healthcare professionals who are providing you with direct care. The MIG allows for relevant information to be viewed by other healthcare professionals, however before your information is accessed you will be asked for your explicit consent. Examples of organisations that may access your GP health information include NEMS Out of Hours team, walk in centres and local A&E departments.

Sharing of information in this way is designed to ensure that the healthcare professionals looking after you have the most relevant information to enable them to provide you with the most appropriate care. The type of information shared is restricted and includes a summary of current problems, current medication, allergies, recent tests, diagnosis, procedures, investigations, risks and warnings – all this information is currently held in your GP system record.

We have automatically set up the sharing facility to allow your information to be made available via the MIG. Whenever a clinician from another healthcare organisation wishes to view your GP information via the MIG they will always seek your permission before doing so; if you say “NO” they will not be able to see any information and no data will be made viewable via the MIG.

If you have any concerns about the sharing of your information or do not want your information being made available via the MIG please ask to speak to the Practice Manager who can advise accordingly.

Named GP

All patients have a named GP attached to their record. If you would like to know your named GP, please ask at Reception. Please be aware this is for admin purposes only and you can see any GP of your choice, when available.

John Ryle Medical Practice

doctor and child We aim to provide a high standard of medical care in a friendly and professional manner. You can help us achieve our aim by following the suggestions made on this website to ensure that appropriate services can be provided when you most need them.

The site contains useful information about how to get the most from a visit to your surgery. We run many clinics for chronic disease care and offer a wide variety of other medical services such as antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

In addition to everything you need to know about the doctors, nurses and other staff at the John Ryle surgery you will also find a wealth of health-related information in the menu on the right hand side. Please have a look around and do send us some feedback if you like

GPs from the Rebuild General Practice campaign talk about the overwhelming, unmanageable, and unsafe situation in primary care.

A recent poll found that 84% of GPs have felt anxiety, stress or depression in the last year and almost 1 in 4 (24%) know colleagues who’ve taken their own lives due to work pressures.

This data is terrifying, and the Rebuild General Practice campaign is calling on the Government to address the workforce crisis so that GPs are able to provide the best care for patients.

Spring BOOSTER UPDATE

If you need to register yourself or someone you care for as housebound to make sure they receive their booster jab, please do contact your GP practice.

Covid 19 is still around and effecting people in different ways, it is each individual persons discretion if they choose to wear a face covering when coming into the surgery. We request that any person who does not choose to wear a face covering repects other peoples decision to do so and try to keep your distance from them as these people could be vunerable or anxious and we still need to do our best to protect people with health problems.
