Important information about the coronavirus (COVID-19)
Please be assured we are still here to look after you during the pandemic. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, how you contact us may be different at the moment. This is to limit face-to-face contact whenever possible and help stop the spread of coronavirus.
GP telephone and video consultations are routinely bookable either online or by calling reception. GPs are also conducting face to face consultations based upon your assessment of clinical need following a discussion between the GP and the patient.
Our Nursing and HCA team continue to provide routine face-to-face appointments for the services that current government guidance allows us to offer.

Like the common cold, coronavirus infection usually occurs through close contact with a person with novel coronavirus via cough and sneezes or hand contact. A person can also catch the virus by touching contaminated surfaces if they do not wash their hands.
Testing of suspected coronavirus cases is carried out in line with strict guidelines. This means that suspected cases are kept in isolation, away from public areas of GP surgeries, pharmacies and hospitals and returned home also in isolation. Any equipment that come into contact with suspected cases is thoroughly cleaned as appropriate. Patients can be reassured that their safety is a top priority, and are encouraged to attend all appointments as usual. Everyone is 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.
