Message to Patients

Albrighton Medical Practice continues to be very busy.  Our staff are here to help you and please can we ask you treat them with respect.  Verbal abuse of our staff will not be tolerated.

In light of the increasing covid-19 cases we have taken the decision to suspend direct access to face to face appointments.  We will be increasing the number of telephone consultations available and still continue to see people face to face when necessary. 

The front door will be closed again with the intercom used to communicate with reception.

Any person who has not had a recent negative PCR that has any of the following symptoms - cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever, new shortness of breath, loss of smell/taste or diarrhoea/vomiting will be asked to return home and their concern dealt with over the phone.

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.

Everyone is being reminded to follow Public Health England advice to: 

• Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
