‼️ Important Information for Elmwood Patients: Clinical System Transfer to Stewart Medical Centre ‼️

As part of the acquisition of Elmwood Medical Centre, the final step in merging the two practices will take place between Friday 3rd October and Tuesday 7th October.
During this time, all Elmwood patients will be transferred to Stewart Medical Centre’s clinical system.

Here’s what you need to know:

• No access to Elmwood records

From Friday 3rd October until the transfer is complete, we will not be able to access Elmwood’s clinical system or patient records.

• Urgent care arrangements

There will be no same-day urgent care service for Elmwood patients during this period. If you need urgent help, please:

o Visit your local pharmacy (if appropriate), or
o Contact NHS 111.

• No home visits available

Unfortunately, we cannot provide home visits to Elmwood patients until after the transfer is complete

• Prescriptions

o Please request any medication before the end of Wednesday 1st October.
o We will not be able to process requests submitted after this date, until the merge is complete.
o Once the transfer is complete, you can request prescriptions from Stewart Medical Centre in the usual way.

This system migration is being carried out by EMIS, our clinical system provider. We will have no access to Elmwood’s EMIS system between 3rd–7th October. After the transfer, all Elmwood patients will be fully registered with Stewart Medical Centre and able to access all of our services as normal.

☎️ From Tuesday October 7th, the practice telephone number for all patients will be 01298 22338 ☎️

Please note: These changes affect Elmwood patients only. Current Stewart Medical Centre patients are unaffected and can continue to access services as usual.

Today!

Patient Engagement Session – September 9th 10am to 12pm

As many patients will be aware, Stewart Medical Centre completed the acquisition of Elmwood Medical Centre on July 16th 2025. Since taking over the management of Elmwood, we have been running the two surgeries as separate entities whilst awaiting formal approval to fully merge the practices into one.

Over the past 6 weeks, despite the inevitable impact of the summer holidays, we hope we have noticeably improved access for patients at Burlington Road whilst also reducing large backlogs of administrative work, without detrimentally impacting the services we offer to our patients at Hartington Road.

We are pleased to report that we now have a date for the full merger to take place, which will be October 7th 2025. In advance of this, we wish to give patients of both practices the opportunity to come and speak to members of the practice team and representatives of both Patient Participation Groups about any questions or concerns they have regarding the merger.

This patient engagement session will take place on Tuesday September 9th in the Main Hall of Buxton Methodist Church between 10am and 12pm.

Following the full merger on October 7th, all patients will automatically become registered under Stewart Medical Centre and all patients will contact the practice in the same way to access our services.

Patients who are unable to attend the session who may wish to raise questions or concerns can do so by emailing admin.stewartmedical@nhs.uk
