Are you feeling anxious or low? Then make the Rightsteps to recovery!

RightSteps Wakefield is a service that aims to provide fast acting psychological treatments, sometimes called talking therapies, for people with common mental health problems such as low mood, anxiety and stress. They have a variety of ways of helping people from group work to individual cognitive behavioural therapy and from employment support to guided self help. All the treatments that RightSteps Wakefield offer are recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence and are provided by appropriately trained practitioners.

People who would like to benefit from talking therapies can be referred by their GP or other members of the practice team, but you can also self refer. If you think you would benefit from talking therapies you can telephone or pop down to their office in Wakefield between 11 am and 7 pm, Monday to Friday. Their telephone number is 01924 234 860 and their office is on the 3rd floor of Grosvenor House, on Union Street, Wakefield WF1 3AE. Their office is above Fulton Foods and Rayners Opticians. Currently about a third of their referrals are by self referral and RightSteps Wakefield are keen for more people to self refer as the percentage of people who engage with treatment is higher when people self refer compared to GP referral.

So remember, if you are feeling low or anxious - make the RightSteps to recovery!

Rules for handling confidential information

The practice handles confidential health information and we have to ensure that it is held securely and shared appropriately. A number of laws, principles and obligations govern how we should handle this information. But they have grown increasingly complicated to understand and this has sometimes made it hard for staff to make clear decisions about when they should and should not share confidential information. I am the practice and also NHS Wakefield CCG Caldicott Guardian. It is one of my jobs to ensure that we handle patient confidential information correctly. I went on an update day yesterday for Caldicott Guardian and came across 'A Guide to Confidentiality in Health and Social Care' produced by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Click here for the link. The guide has a five rules that are very clear and will help staff be clear about how they should protect information and when they can share it. It is also useful for patients because it simply and cl
