Welcome to Wake Green Surgery

The surgery has been serving the people of Moseley and surrounding areas for over 50 years.

Wake Green Surgery strives to deliver the highest standard of care by building strong working relationships with our patients, their families, carers and the wider community. We will provide safe, effective, patient-centered services which are responsive and considerate.

Evening and Weekend Appointments Available

From 1 October 2018 Wake Green Surgery will be able to offer extended access to appointments at our local Extended Access Hub, which is based at Yardley Wood Medical Centre.  There will be evening and weekend appointments available for patients registered at several local practices.  The appointments are with a range of clinicians including GPs, nurses and HCAs.

You will be able to book these appointments via Wake Green Surgery.

The link is currently unavailable. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Gabapentin & Pregabalin

From April 1 2019, Gabapentin and Pregabalin will be classified as Schedule 3 controlled drugs under the Misuse Drugs Regulations 2001, and Class C of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. These medications can therefore, no longer be sent electronically to your pharmacy and you will need to collect your prescription from the surgery. We have had to take the necessary steps to facilitate this change with immediate effect due to clinical system updates.

National Diabetes Audit

This GP practice is taking part in an important national project about diabetes care and treatment in the NHS. The project is called the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). To take part, your GP practice will share information about your diabetes care and treatment with the NDA. The type of information, and how it is shared, is controlled by law and enforced by strict rules of confidentiality and security.

For further information about how your information is used please see the NDA patient information leaflet.

Taking part in the NDA shows that this GP practice is committed to improving care for people with diabetes.

If you do not want your information to be used, please inform the receptionist, your GP or nurse. This will not affect your care.

Registration

As of the First of May we are taking on new patients. Please come into the surgery to pick up a registration form.

Wake Green Surgery is part of Our Health Partnership and is a member of Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group

• Appointments are changing

  Thank you for your feedback regarding appointments. We have reviewed our system and changing the appointments available from 26.3.18. We will be offering more on the day appointments, more internet booking appointments, pre-bookable upto a month in advance and 3 days in advance. These will be released daily from 8.30am (including at weekends for weekday appointments). Please use patient access to book your appointment.  Please note if you already have an appointment booked with another clinician, you will not be able to book a second appointment at the same time. Please call reception if you feel you require a second appointment.

• Pneumococcal shortage

  There is still a national shortage of the pneumococcal vaccination. We will keep you updated once we have any more information. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

• Non Attenders

  The practice has been monitoring the number of patients who fail to attend surgery for their appointment. Each of these DNA’s is a wasted appointment that, if cancelled, could have been offered to another patient, thereby reducing waiting times. We understand that circumstances change and you may not be able to make it to your appointment but please let us know in as much time as possible so that we can offer your appointment to another patient.

  In July 2019 there were 157 DNA’s
