New Restrictions from Thursday 5th November 2020:

Patients are reminded that we are continuing with telephone triage and will call patients for examination at the surgery only when the Doctor feels that this is clinically appropriate and necessary.

All other standard appointments, such as blood tests, flu jabs, cervical smears, dressings etc. are continuing throughout and do not need to be cancelled.

Advice regarding 'Shielding':

• 'Shielding employment support' stopped as of end of August 2020.
• Patients wishing to work from home need to discuss this with their employers, not with the practice or any of the clinicians here.
• GPs will not be writing letters for patients to give to their employers or other 3rd parties regarding shielding.
• Any patients who are in the 'extremely vulnerable' groups should continue to be careful and follow the advice from NHS online or the Government website.

  ---

  As from Monday the 15th June, visitors and patients will be expected to wear face coverings at all times whilst visiting the surgery with the following exceptions:
  Children under the age of 11
  People with disabilities
  Those with breathing difficulties
  Those who are travelling with someone who relies on lip reading

  Diabetic Eye Screening: Important Notice about Diabetic Eye Screening

  The National Diabetic Eye Screening Team have recently issued guidance to restart screening for all in a phased approach. Our Restoration Plan has been agreed with the local NHS England and NHS Improvement Commissioners and we are very pleased and eager to start screening once again.

  We will invite people to screening appointments in the following order:

  • Invite over next few weeks and months - those who are pregnant, under digital surveillance, newly diagnosed, had background retinopathy at last appointment (R1M0) or Did Not Attend their last appointment.
  • Next Year - Those who at their last appointment had no retinopathy or maculopathy (R0M0) are at much lower risk of developing diabetic retinopathy.

  Should you notice any severe changes to your sight in the meantime, please telephone your local Hospital Eye Department or A&E.

  The Bookings Team will be in touch to rearrange all other appointments once screening resumes.

  Thank you for your patience.
