This means that a GP will determine if you need to be seen for face to face consulattion, in the surgery. The GP will take information given to the receptionist by you, the patient. Please be as clear and precise as possible about the nature of your health problem, this will help us to help you. This is in line with current National guidance to protect patients.

Please only attend if you have been offered an appointment and if possible, please attend alone. You will be seen by a clinician wearing full protective equipment including a mask, gloves and an apron. All patients and family will be required to wear a mask whilst they are in the building. When you arrive please call the surgery so we know you have arrived
Cold Clinic If on the basis of GP triage you are requested to attend for a face to face appointment as a result of being acutely unwell, please attend alone if you can.

Our position will be reviewed daily, with guidance from NHS England and the UK Government in mind, so please expect our service to change to best deal with this global crisis. We are likely to use much more remote working, including telephone and video consultation. We will be communicating any changes via our telephone answering message and website. If you do contact us please make sure we have you correct address, telephone number (mobile and landlines) and email address. We are taking these measures after guidance from NHS England and the UK Government so we can help reduce the spread of the disease, protect patients and staff and keep a service running for patients. We thank you in advance for following these changes and playing your part in minimising the risk of infection.
