There are two ways people can make a complaint about GPs, dentists, opticians or pharmacies:
o They can complain to the healthcare provider: this is the organisation where they received the NHS service, for example a GP practice, a dental practice, a community pharmacy or an optometry practice or
o They can complain to the commissioner of the service: this is the organisation that paid for the service or care they received.
After 1 July 2023 if people want to make a complaint about primary care services to the commissioner, the way to do this is changing. Rather than contacting NHS England, people will contact the Complaints team via new contact details below:
South East Complaints Hub
NHS Frimley ICB
Aldershot Centre for Health
Hospital Hill
Aldershot
Hampshire
GU11 1AY
Phone number: 0300 561 0290
Email address: frimleyicb.southeastcomplaints@nhs.net
As each email received is so important to the team, an acknowledgement to all complaints will be sent as soon as possible.
Information governance regulations mean that the emails sent to the old email address after 1 July, cannot be automatically forwarded and the inbox will not be accessible. People will therefore receive an automatic response, asking them to resend their email to the new address.
Members of the public with ongoing complaints received after 1 July 2022 will receive a letter from NHS England informing them that the Complaints team based in the South East Complaints Hub, hosted by NHS Frimley ICB will now be handling their complaint with confirmation of their case handler. We would like to reassure you that the current team and case handler will remain the same as the staff move organisation.
Members of the public will still be able to make a complaint to the provider. This is NOT changing. There is also no change for people wishing to make a complaint for specialised services, health and justice, screening and immunisations and Continuing Healthcare.

Our new online system "Anima" has now launched. We are a pilot practice for this new system, which we hope will get you the help you need efficiently, whilst making the most of the skills of the whole practice team. We hope one of the benefits will be that patients with complex conditions will be able to enjoy more consistent care from their own GP.
What is Anima?
You can use Anima to submit any non-urgent requests to the practice from your phone, tablet or computer. You can use this system for all queries both medical and administrative. We will review your request and ensure that you get the care you need.
This means you won’t always need to call or visit the practice to get help.
Of course, if online is not for you, then a Receptionist will still be on hand to take your call but for many of our patients, we are certain that once you have using Anima, you will not look back!
Thank you, as always, for your support.

Frimley Park Hospital will be replaced with a state-of-the-art new hospital following the announcement that it has been included in the Government’s New Hospital Programme. National funding has been approved to build a new hospital.
Neil Dardis, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust Chief Executive, said: “I am absolutely delighted that we have got the go ahead for this once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve healthcare for the communities we serve. This much-needed new hospital will provide the modern and efficient environment our patients and staff deserve. We plan to take the opportunity of the New Hospital Programme funding to develop the best healthcare facility in the country.
“Our ambition is to provide the highest quality urgent, planned and specialised care in the most modern environment, as well as deliver first class community care. We will ensure that all these services are delivered from a hospital incorporating the very latest sustainability and environmental initiatives and cutting-edge digital technology. We are so excited to be leading this initiative that will transform the future of healthcare for people in and around Frimley.”
Frimley Health’s clinical teams and advisers have recommended that a new site should be found for the new hospital to avoid the significant disruption to patients, services and staff that would be inevitable if an attempt was made to redevelop the current site. This would require a phased demolition and rebuild over many years on a site which is already overly congested.
A range of opportunities will therefore be created for patients, staff, the local community and other stakeholders to be involved and engaged in all stages of the new hospital development.
The new hospital will enable the transformation of services for patients and the local community – it will significantly improve patient care, experience and outcomes within an ultra-modern environment for the benefit of patients, visitors and staff including:
• a significantly increased proportion of single en-suite rooms and more beds in a much improved environment to better meet the needs of the local population
• improved and extended facilities that will enable more patients to be diagnosed and treated in the same visit
• more state-of-the-art operating theatres to treat more patients
• smart use of the latest digital technology and IT infrastructure to greatly improve the experience of patients and staff
• a host of environmental benefits including improved energy efficiency and sustainability
• the latest designs and best practice for infection control
• carefully considered co-location of services within the building which will greatly improve patient and visitor movement, and group staff together to enable better clinical outcomes and team working
• exciting opportunities to increase the integration of primary and community care with hospital and secondary care across the wider Frimley Health system to better serve patients.
Frimley Park Hospital needs to be replaced because the concrete it was built with in the 1970s has been found to be susceptible to deterioration over time. The trust has an extensive, but costly, surveillance and safety maintenance regime in place to ensure safety and minimise risk.
The Trust’s new hospital bid was supported by Frimley Health and Care Integrated Care System whose Chief Executive, Fiona Edwards, said: “Replacing Frimley Park Hospital, with its deteriorating concrete, is a key priority for our integrated care board and will help support our ambitions to create healthier communities. I look forward to working with the Trust to maximise the wider opportunities to increase the integration of secondary, primary and community care, in particular through therapeutic and rehabilitation services, so we can also deliver more care closer to home, see faster patient recovery and therefore earlier patient discharge.”
Neil Dardis added: “These are exciting times for our teams and everyone in our local community and we look forward to engaging with our patients, staff and all our stakeholders as we develop our plans for the Frimley Park Hospital of the future.”

In 2018 following a national consultation and publication of NHS England guidance the following treatments are no longer available for GPs to prescribe to treat hay fever: antihistamine tablets and liquids (including cetirizine, loratadine, fexofenadine); steroid nasal sprays (including beclomethasone) and sodium cromoglicate eye drops.
The Oakley Health Group Pharmacy Team have removed Fexofenadine 120mg & Sodium Cromoglicate eye drops from the repeat medication lists. Therefore, any patient with these items listed on their repeat prescriptions will no longer be able to request them.
Patients will be sent a link via text message to inform them of this change:
“If you're experiencing common hay fever symptoms, you should no longer go to your GP to get a prescription. Instead, you can buy medication from a pharmacy/supermarket. Your pharmacist will be able to advise you on appropriate treatment and if you should see a GP.”

We are delighted to tell you that from 21st March, our new telephone system has gone live. Having listened to the feedback from both patients and staff, the previous system has proven to be unreliable & frustrating. We are hoping that the new service will see a significant improvement for everyone, but we do ask that you bear with us for the first few days just in case there are a few teething problems.
Remember, there are other ways to contact the surgery:

The practice was also please to support "Wear It Pink" day in support of Breast Cancer now and raised £2,457.60. Thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets and cakes!
