Other Information

Diazepam is a sedative, which means it makes you sleepy and more relaxed. There are a number of very good reasons why prescribing this drug is not recommended. According to the prescribing guidelines doctors follow (British National Formulary) diazepam is contraindicated (not allowed) for treating phobias (fears).

Housing/Benefit Letters

Whilst we are committed to supporting our patients where possible, any requests for letters for benefits, council or any other third parties, we will only complete with a formal request from the third party.

Please note all requests from the third party will require the patients formal consent.

We will only complete factual responses. We are not allowed to give an opinion. If in doubt we will refuse to complete the request and may issue a copy of medical records instead with your consent.

Be aware we charge for any requests, and these can take up to 28 days.

HOUSING APPLICATIONS

Whilst we appreciate that housing problems can be stressful, this is a matter for the council housing office. If the council requires additional medical information following on from an application, they can write to us directly. They will need to provide your written consent for this. This also avoids an unnecessary cost to the patient.

The Council should write, in confidence, to your doctor if further information is required.

GPs receive frequent requests for medical letters and reports in support of housing applications from a variety of sources – the local authority, housing associations, directly from patients and from patients via Citizens Advice Bureaux. The arrangements for seeking GP reports and for payment vary from local authority area to local authority area, and even when clearly agreed are often not implemented by local authority staff. However all requests should come via the Housing Association and not the patient.

Information in support an application based on health grounds should be supplied by the applicant using the appropriate form provided by the Housing Department. This should not require any input from the GP/practice.

Only if additional information is required, should the Housing Department Medical Officer obtain it from the applicant’s doctor, preferably using a standard form, provided the patient has given written consent. The Medical Officer should seek information which is only available to the GP, for example:

  • the diagnosis;

  • severity of the illness;

  • medication

Face coverings are no longer mandatory in GP practices and other clinical settings, though we do recommend you consider wearing one in crowded places or indoors to protect you from catching or spreading Covid-19.

Getting vaccinated is the best form of protection - whether you’re getting your boosters, or have just recently decided to get a Covid vaccine, you’re helping to protect yourself and other people around you. To find out how to get your next vaccine, click the button below.

You also no longer need to show your NHS Covid Pass when attending most venues, though some will require it on a discretionary basis—and patients are no longer required to work from home.
