We are making some changes to how we look after patients because of the coronavirus outbreak.

This is so that we can keep our patients and staff safe and healthy and make best use of our resources.

The changes are in keeping with the government’s approach to protecting people against coronavirus by reducing contact to essential circumstances.

The main change is that we are reducing the need for patients to come into the practice by moving to telephone and video consultations where we can. We are also making sure that you can get prescriptions without coming in.

Latest government advice on coronavirus

If you or anyone in your household has a high temperature or a new and continuous cough, even if those symptoms are mild, you should all stay at home. Don’t go to your GP or hospital; instead go to nhs.uk to check your symptoms and follow the specialist medical advice.

For medical help linked to coronavirus you can also contact the NHS 111 online coronavirus service.

Only call 111 if you cannot get online or if your symptoms worsen
