Important Patient Information

Following our last email update on the 25^th March we wanted to update you regarding GP services at this time. We understand that these are unprecedented times and as frontline NHS healthcare workers we are all going above and beyond to support our patient’s, but this does mean significant changes to the way we operate. Thank you to all our incredibly supportive patient’s that have thanked our team and recognise how hard our whole team has been working to deal with the extra workload at this time.
All of the measures we have put in place over the past 2-3 months and going forward are following guidance from Public Heath England and are being implemented across many GP practices in the UK. It is all about keeping you safe, minimising your exposure to patient’s with COVID-19 symptoms and saving the lives of the most vulnerable people in our community. At the same time we need to keep our teams safe and well so they can keep on working to provide patient care. We are managing the risk and minimising infection by zoning patients in time and space and across our both sites; you might be asked to travel to one of our sites that you are not used to coming to, this is to keep our access as safe as possible, and we very much appreciate your co-operation.
As the management of this pandemic evolves, further changes are inevitable, so please bear with us; everything we do is to keep us all as safe as possible.
