Due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, the way you access your GP practice has changed.

To contact the surgery, you should send over an Accurx form (form available through the home page.)– DO NOT attend in person to book an appointment.

Your GP practice will then arrange the best care for you depending on your need.  This will likely be a phone call or video call.

If you do need to see a doctor face-to-face, then this will be arranged for you.

Alternatively, use the online NHS 111 service or call NHS 111.

We want to reassure you that your GP practice is still open and we are here to look after you and your family.

If You Have Symptoms of Coronavirus Infection (Covid-19)

Stay at home and do not leave your house for 10 days from when your symptoms started.  This will help protect others in your community whilst you are infectious.  You should:

• plan ahead and ask others for help to ensure that you can successfully stay at home
• ask your employer, friends and family to help you to get the things you need to stay at home
• stay at least 2 metres (about 3 steps) away from other people in your home whenever possible
• sleep alone, if that is possible
• wash your hands regularly for 20 seconds, each time using soap and water
• stay away from vulnerable individuals such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions as much as possible

We are sorry to hear that some pf our patients are continuing to experience symptoms following recent COVID-19 infection.

Please see the websites below for helping with your recovery.

If you wish to be referred to the practice based social prescriber to discuss options available locally please contact the surgery reception.
