Covid Vaccination Registration and Appointments
COVID-19
The Practice is currently restricting access for the safety of all patients and staff temporarily. Patients should not come to the Practice, but should telephone us first. Staff will take details and signpost you to the correct person. It is important you tell the receptionist the reason for your call. A member of the clinical team will phone you back. Please remember our number will come up “withheld”/”private”. They may be able to deal with the problem over the phone or they might arrange a video consultation or arrange for you to be seen at the Practice. If your query is related to hospital waiting lists or follow-up please contact the relevant hospital department directly.
All patients will still have access to the care they require.
We appreciate your patience and understanding at this time. Our staff are also having to live with the restrictions due to the Pandemic so please treat them with respect as they are doing their best for you.
Currently other factors which are increasing pressure on our service include the backlog of non-urgent issues related to our period in lockdown also resources being diverted to the Covid vaccine programme. We also are experiencing an increase in patient contact due to patient queries regarding hospital services.
Please phone 01463 235245 if you feel you require medical advice and we will call you back.
