Please Note: From 19th July 2021 the wearing of face-coverings and distancing will still be required in our building.
To prevent waiting rooms of poorly people sitting together, appointments with the GP will still be a telephone appointment initially, followed by a face to face appointment where this is needed.
Where possible, our Nurse, Healthcare Assistant and Clinical Pharmacist appointments will also be by phone. Obviously, some examinations and procedures do need to be done face to face, and we will spread these out through the day to allow for distancing, changing PPE, and room/equipment clean downs.
This does mean you need to wait a little longer to be seen face to face when that's required but please be patient with us as we do our best to help you safely.
Appointments will not yet be available to book online or through the app, but you can use the online consultation (eConsult) link below to send us information and photographs about your problem.

Your Covid Recovery is a new NHS website designed to help people recover from the long-term effects of coronavirus, otherwise known as Covid-19.
Recovery
If you have had Covid-19, you may still have some physical symptoms, such as breathlessness, a cough, and a lack of energy. You may also have psychological symptoms, such as feeling scared or anxious, depressed, having trouble sleeping, and struggling to remember or concentrate.
These symptoms, both physical and psychological, are common. Your Covid Recovery includes information from experts about how to manage them and look after your health and wellbeing. It also includes information on returning to work, and a helpful section for family, friends, and carers of people who are recovering.
To get an Isolation Note to give to your employer please visit https://111.nhs.uk/isolation-note/ Please note your GP cannot give you a note to cover this period.

As we receive further government direction on the use of face coverings, you may be wondering if you or someone you care for is exempt. If you need information on whether you are exempt and to download an exemption card please click here. Face coverings and masks do not inhibit or worsen lung function and we would encourage everyone who can, to wear one, particularly to enter any Healthcare facilities and Pharmacies. It may feel awkward at first, but it does get easier!
If you don't have a face mask, you can make one easily without sewing from a sock from the instructional video at this link
