Telephone System Upgrade - 01.12.2021

We are pleased to announce that the new Surgery telephone system installation has now been completed.

All staff have received training in the new system but it will take a little time for us to get used to it so please bear with us whilst we adjust.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

CORONAVIRUS EMERGENCY

Booking appointments

As our patients are aware, Mansfield Park Surgery has kept its doors open throughout most of the pandemic, and the GPs have ensured that face to face appointments, where appropriate, have been maintained.

As we move forward, and the lockdown measures are eased nationally, we will continue to keep the safety of our patients as our priority.

We are now slowly moving towards restoring our former appointment system, and enabling patients to book appointments up to 4 weeks in advance with the GP of their choice. The GPs will continue to conduct telephone and video consultations as a preference, but if you feel a face to face consultation is more appropriate to your needs, you can request this.

To maintain social distancing, the waiting room will be restricted to 6 people, therefore there may be occasions where patients will be asked to remain in their cars until room becomes available.

We will continue to review all measures as we emerge out of the pandemic.

Flu Vaccines

We have appointments available for over 65's flu vaccines. These can be booked online via patient access/NHS app or by calling the surgery.

Covid-19 - proof of vaccination

The practice is not able to provide you with a letter that shows your COVID-19 vaccination status.

From 17 May 2021, people in England who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can demonstrate their vaccination status for international travel. A full course is currently two doses of any approved vaccine. Vaccine status will be available from: · the NHS App which you can download from app stores · the NHS website

It may take more than a week for your identity to be checked and verified so you can use these services.

If you cannot access these online services, and you have had 2 vaccines, you can request a paper letter from the NHS by calling 119.

Only call 119 if you had your second dose more than 5 working days ago. It may take 7 working days for the letter to arrive. When you're planning your travel, check the latest information on demonstrating your COVID-19 status when travelling abroad on the gov.uk website. Make sure there is time to get proof of your vaccination status before you leave.
