Coronavirus - Advice to our patients

During this current pandemic the GP surgery is operating different procedures to usual. 

All patients who attend the surgery must wear a face mask or covering.  If you are unable to wear a face covering for health reasons and you are attending the surgery for a face to face consultation you will be asked to wait outside the building until the clinician is ready to see you; if you are collecting a prescription without a face mask the prescription will be sent to Rhodes chemist for you to collect from there.  If you lip read to aid with communication please advise the member of staff, it is at their discretion if they choose to remove their face covering whilst talking to you.

All patients will be offered a telephone triage appointment, where the GP is unable to resolve your issue over the telephone they will then arrange a face to face consultation and you must wear a face mask or covering when you attend.

To protect yourself and others, please do not attend the GP surgery to book an appointment.

If you have symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19) use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do.
