Covid-19 Update August 2020 – Latest Guidance

FOR YOUR SAFETY – FACE MASKS SHOULD BE WORN WHEN VISITING THE SURGERY

EXEMPTION IS BY SELF DECLARATION THEREFORE NO GP SUPPORTING LETTER REQUIRED

APPOINTMENTS INCLUDING PRE-BOOKABLE APPOINTMENTS CONTINUE TO BE TRIAGED BY A DOCTOR AS A PRECAUTION. WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP PATIENTS AND STAFF SAFE AS PER BMA Covid 19 toolkit

We remain open and you should not avoid calling the surgery if you are ill – we are working in different ways to meet all health needs, eg; we are able to offer “secure” video consultation in some instances.

ORDERING MEDICATION FROM 1 8 2020 – As “shielding” for vulnerable patients comes to an end, we will cease to accept telephone requests for routine medication. Please register on line, or post in the green order slip at the surgery and allow 48 hours for processing.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE

May we remind you that Coronavirus remains a serious threat and our City is currently in local lockdown which means extra vigilance is need. Coronavirus has not gone away.

DO NOT COME TO SURGERY IF YOU HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS – BY DOING SO YOU ARE PUTTING OTHER PATIENTS AND STAFF AT RISK . The consequences could be far reaching as the surgery may be . IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS THE SELF ISOLATION PERIOD HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 10 DAYS

*NEW* Test and Trace

You can get a test:

for yourself, if you have coronavirus symptoms now (a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste)
for someone you live with, if they have coronavirus symptoms
for yourself, if you have been told to have a test before you go into hospital, for example, for surgery
