The surgery premises is still open and patients continue to attend to see our nurses, health care assistants and doctors when it is important to do so. We provide a prior GP triage service to ensure these attendances are appropriate and cannot be dealt with remotely for a combination of reasons including safety, efficiency and convenience for patients.
Access continues to be an issue for primary care generally due to Covid vaccine queries, continued closure of walk -in centres, and unprecedented stored up demand.
For non-urgent concerns we also provide an e-consult service via our website and we are looking at other novel ways of coping with demand during the forthcoming influenza season.
