Changes Being Made in Practice

Due to current concerns regarding coronavirus we will be implementing measures to protect patients, the public and staff. This is to prevent transmission of the virus to vulnerable patients and others.

We have moved to a video and telephone consultation model. Please note that telephone and video consultation times are an approximate time e.g. an appointment time in the morning could be any time in the morning the same for an afternoon – this is due to current work pressures and the different way the practice is needing to work.

Patients will only be seen face to face if deemed appropriate and safe following their video/telephone consultation. All patients must wear a face mask or covering when attending the practice.

We will be asking patients who do not have a nominated pharmacy for electronic prescriptions to set one so these can be sent directly to the pharmacy resulting in reduced footfall in the practice.
