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 they provide.
The latest information on Coronavirus infection can be found on nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
