More information from the surgery

To protect our patients, our staff and our community we have moved to a total telephone triage system for GP appointments in line with national guidance. By reducing the number of people in the surgery we can reduce the risk of transmission of Coronavirus by people who may be unaware they have the virus.

People with Covid-19 symptoms should not be attending the surgery unless specifically asked to do so and which would then be under strict precautions.

All GP appointments will initially be on the telephone. These appointments can be booked for a given time or if urgent put on the Duty Dr list. You can also use our e-consult system. Telephone appointments can be booked by phone or online.

Most consultations can be successfully completed by phone but if the doctor needs to see you face to face for an examination, you will be invited to the surgery. They can also do video consultations or ask you to send a photo to avoid you having to come out unnecessarily.

We are staggering the arrival times of patients coming in and you may be seen in your car, the tent or in the building whichever is most appropriate.

Patients must wear a face covering or mask when attending the surgery for appointments or for contact with receptionists.

Nursing appointments continue for warfarin monitoring, immunisations (NOT travel) , dressings and blood tests for monitoring certain conditions. Reviews can also be done by telephone.

Child Immunisations are very important. We are organising the appointments so that as few people as possible are on site at a time and there is extra time for cleaning between patients.

If you have symptoms of Coronavirus on the day of your appointment - do not attend

Our e-consult service is available please scroll down this page

We thank you for your co-operation and understanding. As you are aware, the situation and guidance is changing rapidly so we will keep patients updated by website and text.
