Coronavirus Information

For the continued safety of our patients and staff, please see below for the current procedures in surgery:

If you suspect you have coronavirus and need to contact the surgery, please do so by phone or online consultation. Phone appointments are available.
If you are entering the surgery, please wear a face covering (unless exempt) and socially distance whilst you are inside. Hand sanitiser is available.
If you have anything to hand in, it can be left in the surgery letterbox. Please make sure your details are clearly written, alongside any information or requests for the surgery.
Due to high demand, please allow 5 working days for prescriptions to be processed at the current time.
Patients without a pharmacy nomination may have their prescriptions sent to a pharmacy local to the surgery, to avoid large numbers of patients attending the surgery.
If you are attending surgery, please socially distance whilst at the reception desk. Our receptionists are busy answering the phones aswell, and will be with you as soon as possible.
Please collect non-urgent items after 2pm, as we are very busy in the mornings.

Why are GP practices working differently?

Symptoms and Testing

Coronavirus symptoms may include:

a high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
shortness of breath
feeling tired or exhausted
an aching body
a headache
a sore throat
a blocked or runny nose
loss of appetite
diarrhoea
feeling sick or being sick

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you have symptoms of COVID-19. Take extra care to avoid close contact with anyone who is at higher risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19. You can go back to your normal activities when you feel better or do not have a high temperature.

Coronavirus testing:

Free testing for COVID-19 from the NHS has ended for most people in England. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you are no longer required to do a rapid lateral flow or PCR test.

If you still want to get tested and you're not eligible for a free NHS test, you must pay for a COVID-19 test yourself.
