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.
