PLEASE NOTE - You will need an individual email address and not a shared email address. If you share an email address you could consider proxy access please enquire about this at any of our reception desks. 

SENDING PHOTOS

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic we are now doing much more of our work through telephone consultations. Sometimes it is useful for the nurse or doctor to see a picture, or you may feel it will help them understand your problem. This is particularly the case with skin lesions or rashes. To help us and you we will no longer be accepting photos through our email address. All photos will have to be sent through a text message reply. Any photos sent via email will be returned unopened and you will be directed to send them through an e-consult.

Sometimes you may have a skin problem in an intimate area such as on breasts, genitalia (vagina & penis), or the anus (back passage). In this case please arrange a telephone consultation first. The nurse or doctor will then decide if they need a visual image and arrange this either through a face to face appointment, photos via econsult or via a video consultation. Please DO NOT send intimate photos without talking to a nurse or doctor first.

If your child has a rash in an intimate area we will usually arrange for a face to face consultation if we need to see the rash. DO NOT take photos of your child’s genitalia or anus and send them to us, this will leave you open to prosecution for making indecent images of a child.

How to take a high quality clinical image

  1. ​​Ideally ask someone else to take the photo.
  2. Use a plain background.
  3. Ensure good overhead lighting.
  4. Take a wider image to establish location and then a close up of the lesion or rash. Different angles can help demonstrate size/shape of a lesion.
  5. Ensure the images are in focus.

Welcome to Carn to Coast Health Centres

Klinik

Across the NHS we find ourselves faced with unprecedented levels of demand which continue still to increase. As a GP surgery, there are only so many calls we can receive and only so many staff we can physically accommodate to take these calls.  Within those limits we endeavour to answer calls as quickly as possible. You may find that, if the waiting period is very extended, you will be asked to call back rather than hold. If you do find yourself in a long queue, we do appreciate that this can be frustrating but, while you have been waiting for an answer, our care navigators have been busy doing their best to help those who have queued in front of you and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SERVICES – MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING

We need the help of patients to prevent our being ‘closed down’ by Covid.

As patients will be aware, the rules face masks / coverings in public places are now being relaxed to the point that, in most places, this is a matter of choice.

Our GPs are deeply concerned about the impact this could have on our ability to provide patients with a service. Increasingly staff working within the health service are having to self-isolate and are therefore unable to attend our premises. An outbreak at any of our surgery sites could lead to one or more of Pool Health Centre, Homecroft, Trevithick or St Day having to close for a number of days.

Therefore, while patients may insist that they have a right to visit our premises without a face covering, we ask them not to exercise that right unless they absolutely have to do so, and to continue to socially distance from staff and patients. Our own staff will continue to wear masks but this is primarily provides for your protection, not their own. We would ask you to afford them the same courtesy. You will also be protecting more vulnerable patients who may be attending for appointments, including elderly people, cancer sufferers and those who have existing breathing problems. Please do not add to the risks they face.

In terms of attending for treatment, it remains our policy that any patient not wearing a face covering for a consultation or procedure will be seen at a site where additional protective equipment is worn by the doctors and other health professionals, so please bear this in mind if asked to attend and let us know your choice in advance.

We are pleased that government have now also realised the necessity for patients to continue to wear masks in healthcare settings and issued their guidance below which completely backs our practice approach: https://www.england.nhs.uk/2021/07/nhs-patients-staff-and-visitors-must-continue-to-wear-face-coverings-in-healthcare-settings/

Covid 19 - Practice Operating Procedure, and Advice for Patients

In view of the need to protect patients and staff while continuing to provide healthcare to our patients, we continue to triage all appointments. This means that all patients requesting an appointment will first have a discussion about how their condition can best be managed.  We would encourage you to use our E-Consult facility (see below) where you can fully explain your symptoms or request, to give our team more details before speaking to them. https://carntocoast.webgp.com/  

 

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND ANY SITE IN PERSON UNLESS YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT

Patients attending for appointments will be required to wear a face covering to protect themselves, our staff and other patients. 

If you are unable or unwilling to wear a face covering please advise our staff and special arrangements will be made for you; please refer to our Policy re Face Coverings

The Gov.uk website has a guide on how to wear and make a face covering. This can be a scarf or a homemade face mask, but should cover your mouth and nose.  Wash your hands or use hand sanitiser before putting it on and after taking it off. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth at all times and store used face coverings in a plastic bag until you have an opportunity to wash them at 60°. 

If you have any concerns that you may have the coronavirus COVID-19 please do not come to the surgery premises. Please isolate yourself at home and visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ for more information. If you ring us, our receptionists will advise you to visit the NHS 111 Website as per Government policy.
