Be aware buying fake medicines

There has been an increase in the number of unregistered online sellers and other outlets across the country including in the Thames Valley which poses a health risk for people who use them.

Often these websites and outlets - which can also be accessed via social media - are unlicenced and sell fake or illegal products which are ineffective or contaminated and could damage your health.

In addition, it is being reported that these fake products are being sold via some beauty salons and hairdressers to unsuspecting customers.

There is further information on the NHS Thames Valley website here

New digital systems at Deddington Health Centre

As part of our commitment to improving patient care and easier access to our services we are introducing two new digital systems.

Medlink – Chronic Disease Management reviews
From May 2026, we will be using a system called Medlink to support Chronic Disease Management reviews. This system is already used by many GP practices across the UK.
If you are invited for an annual review, you will receive a message with a link to a personalised health questionnaire. This will ask you about your health and can be completed at a time that is convenient for you. Your responses will help the clinical team prepare for your review and ensure it is focused on your needs.

More information can be found on our website https://deddingtonhealthcentre.co.uk/news/medlink/

“Jackie” – digital receptionist

From 13th May 2026 we are also introducing Jackie, a digital receptionist, to support our Patient Services team and help reduce waiting times on the phone.
If you are unable to use our online services, Jackie will help you submit a request by asking you a series of questions, similar to those asked by our reception team. This will ensure your request is directed to the right person.

- Update the NHS App in your app store if required.
- Try closing and reopening the app

If you don’t see it yet:-
- Wait a bit longer (it can take a few weeks)

You don’t need to do anything else — it will update automatically
