Stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms

Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

  • a high temperature
  • a new, continuous cough

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home. However, PLEASE NOTE they can provide sick lines if necessary following the 7 day self certification period.

We are a ZERO Tolerance Practice. This means we will NOT tolerate any threatening or aggressive behaviour or language towards any of our staff or patients. Unfortunately you will be removed from our practice list without further discussion and will have to find another practice.

DNA'S -(Did Not Attends) Please remember to cancel your appointment if it no longer suits so that we can give it to someone else. Unfortunately failure to attend repeatedly will result in removal from our list.

 

Home VisitsDoctor's bag

If you are too unwell to come to the medical centre we will visit you at home.

Whenever possible please phone before 10:00.

If you request a house call you may be put through to one of the doctors who will take brief details in order to prioritise the call. The doctors tend to make their house calls after the morning surgery, so most of these visits are made in the late morning or early afternoon.

We urge you to come to the medical centre whenever possible. For every single home visit, at least three patients could have been seen in the surgery.

We do not do house calls for children as a rule. Having a temperature does not mean that you or your child cannot attend the surgery. Children who are unwell will always be seen at the surgery on the same day

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
