We update this on a regular basis as advice changes (Latest Update Apr 2023)
Like everyone else, we very much welcome the easing of restrictions.
In line with public health advice, and from April 18 2023,
we would request all patients with respiratory symptoms to continue to wear facemasks when visiting the surgery.
However we are pleased to remove the requirement for face masks for all other consultations.
This policy is constantly reviewed and will change if prudent.
This page is your “Go To” for all matters Covid!
Please scroll down this page for the best sources of advice on testing, vaccines and general advice.
Our aim throughout the pandemic was to try to ensure the health and well-being of you (our patients), and of all those who work in the practice to deliver that care.
We thank you for your patience, support and understanding.
Practice Policy Changes
Booking GP & Nurse Appointments
We will continue to triage all appointment requests for your safety, and the safety of other patients and staff.
We have instructed staff to ask ALL patients requesting appointments about respiratory symptoms.
Prescriptions
We now offer a secure online ordering system for repeat prescriptions. This service is for our patients’ regular authorised repeat medications.
Ideally it should not be used for occasionally required medications. If you have any queries about this, please discuss with your doctor.
To order a repeat prescription online through our portal, you must first register as a portal user.
Visit our Patient Portal
Our aim is to encourage patients to use our Secure Portal rather than the use of email prescription requests.
We will send all prescriptions to pharmacies by secure email. This reduces the time you need to spend in either the practice or the pharmacy. Therefore please notify us of your preferred pharmacy for this service
Certificates
The practice is now using electronic certification for social welfare certificates. You do not always need to attend the practice but may require a telephone consultation.
Private medical certificates my be returned through our portal to registered patients or by email.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding. These changes will help reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus infection, while allowing us to deliver medical services to you!
