! Covid-19, Level 3 ! Tuesday, April 28, 2020
To our patient community:
We would like to thank you for your ongoing support, your acceptance of the new processes in place and your patience. Level 3 doesn’t really change the way we are working at the moment. The majority of our consultations are taking place as a video consult (or over the phone if you can’t access a device or a computer). You can still book online but you will only be able to book a video/phone consultation over the portal.
However, some patients still need to come into the surgery. We are here for you! Please call us to make an appointment. We ask you to notify us of your arrival (please call from your car or “wave” to our Reception team from the entrance door) and then please wait in your car until we call you to come directly into the doctor’s room.
Flu vaccines are going ahead. Please call to book an appointment. We are still not able to administer flu vaccines at the surgery. The procedure will be done in your car. Thanks for your understanding.
Updates will be posted on the website as they occur. Your cooperation is much appreciated. Please be aware of the pressure on our staff, we are doing our best to provide the services you require.
