A message to all our patients: We realise these might be quite anxious times but to let you know, we are not closed, however, we have stopped routine face to face appointments.
This is in line with national guidance to keep you and our staff as safe as possible.
Having lots of people in the waiting room is not very healthy especially for elderly and vulnerable patients.
We will assess each request for an appointment by telephone first. Many cases seen in general practice can be dealt with over the phone or with advice on self-care, referral or other treatment.
This is aimed at minimising social contact and slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
If you are asked to attend the surgery you will need to wear a face covering. Please see the links for information:
Please do not panic we will do all we can to provide you with the medical care that you need. This is a rapidly changing situation so we will keep you informed on our website, facebook page or by text as necessary.
There are a number of Self Help Resources available to you please click here for a list of services. Or to download please click this link .
Given the current status the practice are now encouraging as many patients who are registered for online services to request a video consultation to avoid coming in to the health centre.
We can only arrange a video consultation for conditions that do not require examination.
We are also offering telephone consultations if you do not need to be seen, or online eConsultations by clicking on the blue eConsult box at the top of this page.
Thank you for your understanding.
Village Surgery.
