COVID–19

To help reduce the potential spread of infection, we are advising ALL patients to phone before coming to the surgery.

When you ring us, our staff will ask you some questions to determine your condition.  Some of these questions may include if you have a temperature or cough.  These questions help us determine the best action to take but also helps protect our staff and other vulnerable patients.

If appropriate, you may receive a call back from a GP or be given other relevant advice.

If you need a repeat prescription please phone the surgery and press option 1 to  leave your request on our 24 hour prescription line

If you already have an appointment please do not come to the surgery if you have a persistent cough/fever/flu symptoms

 

This is currently the latest guidance for coronavirus (COVID–19).

If you have the following symptoms please DO NOT COME TO THE SURGERY as we have vulnerable patients who have underlying health problems and are at high risk

The most common symptoms of coronavirus are recent onset of:

new continuous cough and/or high temperature above 37.8C

If you have symptoms of coronavirus infection (COVID–19) however mild, stay at home and do not leave your house for 7 days from when your symptoms started

This action will help protect others in your community whilst you are infectious

Plan ahead and ask others for help to ensure that you can successfully stay at home

Ask you 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 you 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

You do not need to call NHS111 to go into self–isolation. DO NOT COME TO THE SURGERY.  If your symptoms worsen during home isolation or no better after 7 days contact NHS111.  For a medical emergency dial 999
