IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PATIENTS: CORONAVIRUS

If you require an urgent appointment please phone the Surgery on the day of your urgent medical issue.

We are very carefully monitoring the situation with regards to the Coronavirus, and are implementing the necessary changes required to ensure that we deliver Primary Care as safely as possible under exceptional circumstances.

Appointments

All patients requesting an appointment with a Clinician at the Surgery will be offered a phone appointment with an appropriate member of the team. If it is deemed necessary and appropriate you may then be asked to visit the surgery. If you are offered a face to face appointment please follow the guidance below.

For all Face to face appointments with GP and Nursing team:
·    Please arrive as close to your appointment time as possible. *Patients arriving by car may be asked to remain in their vehicles until a member of our team is ready to see you.
·    Please wear a face covering at all times and observe the 2 metre social distancing rule.
·    Face coverings are to protect both patients and staff and access to the surgery may be restricted for those who come without a face covering.
·    Please attend alone unless you require a carer/parent to be present, when only 1 other person should come with you.

·   Please ensure you use the loo before attending as you may not be able to use the lavatory facilities in the Surgery.
·    Use the hand sanitiser provided before entering the waiting area and before leaving the building.

These measures are all to protect patients & staff
