COVID AND WINTER ILLNESSES -YOUR HEALTH NEEDS
We are currently experiencing staff shortages as well as a higher demand to see our doctors & nurses. Every day we keep some urgent appointments but you need to ring us to book these. A nurse or doctor may give you advice if we are unable to see you. Non-urgent appointment bookings may be one or two weeks away. If there is a change in your health while waiting for an appointment, please phone and talk to a nurse.
We realise it is a very challenging time for everyone and we thank you for your patience, support & kindness.
- We will remain open and keep supporting your wellbeing
- For everyone’s well-being, we will continue to keep “respiratory” patients separate from other patients
- We ask all “respiratory” patients to wait in their cars rather than in the waiting room
- Please wear a mask when coming into the practice.
- If you have a mask exemption, please let us know so that we can decide together where you will wait for your appointment
- We are offering Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) & PCR's if required. We can provide you with RATs to take home
- We will continue to offer phone as well as “in person” consultations
