Further information and details of how to self-isolate are available on nhs.uk. During Covid 19 We are fully open for telephone and video consulting and face to face if clinically indicated following triage by the clinician. To contact us please call 0121 255 0419 or visit reception. Please be advised that all visitor on site MUST bring and wear a face covering to protect vulnerable patients from catching covid 19. To help with social distancing we have limited the number of seats in the waiting room and spread out our clinics. Please come alone to appointments and ask those with you to wait outside or in the car, unless you wish for them to accompany you into your appointment. 22.12.21 update -Following NHSE guidence: GP access leaflet for patients As part of our response to COVID-19 and in light of the increased transmissibility of the new variant, Omicron, we have made some key changes to how we are currently working. The measures described below are in line with national guidance and ensures we can continue to provide care whilst keeping our patients and staff safe. All appointments will now be telephone or video based first, with face-to-face appointments offered where there is a clinical need to do so. This helps to ensure that patients are only attending the practice in person if absolutely necessary, keeping everyone as safe as possible. When you call to book an appointment, you may be asked a series of questions around what you’re calling for. This will be to ensure you are directed to the most appropriate service or health professional for your condition, so please do provide as much detail as you can. For those who are invited to attend our practice in person, please be assured that we are continuing to follow strict infection control and social distancing measures to keep you as safe as possible. As part of this, we ask that you wear a face covering at all times whilst in the practice. If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, have received a positive PCR test result or if you meet the criteria for self-isolation, please do not attend. Given the significant demand our services are currently experiencing, and following the national ask to clinically prioritise the most urgent services such as vaccines, urgent care, immunisations, cancer and high risk patients, some of our routine services may not be available as quickly as you are used to. We apologise for any inconvenience but assure you that we are working hard to provide care in the safest and most effective ways. Don’t forget, you can download the NHS App or
use online services for things like prescriptions or other healthcare
needs. You can also use 111.nhs.uk or call 111 for urgent but non-life
threatening concerns. Your local pharmacy is also available to support
with minor conditions or to provide further advice. These measures will be reviewed on a regular basis and as soon as it is safe to do so, we will return to offering more face-to-face appointments. We thank you for your patience. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ We are Open for consultations, please see the video to help
