Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The NHS and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.
Stay at home if you have either:
- a high temperature - you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- a new, continuous cough. This means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- loss or change to your sense of smell or taste. This means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal.
Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital
Use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do
Read the NHS advice about staying home including how long to isolate for.
Use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service if:
- You feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home
- Your condition gets worse
- Your symptoms do not get better after 7 days
Only call 111 if you cannot get help online.

Ring our main telephone line on 01777 713330 to book an appointment. Say immediately if your call is an emergency.Your condition may be assessed by a triage Doctor, who will then either provide you with advice or give you an appointment to see a doctor, nurse or other health professional.
If your condition is non urgent, you can expect to see a GP within two to seven working days, though you may have to wait longer if you want to see a particular G.P.
The nurses based in our practice treat patients for a wide range of common conditions.
Telephone Consultations
We can also provide you with a telephone consultation, if this is more appropriate, e.g. for advice, test results or other query. Please request a telephone appointment when speaking to the receptionist.
If you need to speak to a doctor urgently, we will either put you through as soon as we can or take your telephone number and the doctor will ring you back when possible.
Chaperone
If the doctor or nurse considers it appropriate, you will be offered the presence of a chaperone during your consultation, or you may request one.
Alternatively, you may prefer to bring a friend or relative with you to your appointment.
OUT OF HOURS
If you or your family need urgent medical care when the surgery is closed, please phone the usual daytime surgery number (01777 713330) and your call will be re-directed to the out-of hours service. Alternatively call the Out of Hours Service on 111. Your needs will be assessed and you will either be given advice or arrangements will be made for you to be seen by a healthcare professional.
This service provides Emergency Cover Only and is for urgent problems that cannot wait till the following morning when normal surgery resumes.
CANCELLATIONS
Please inform us as soon as possible if you are unable to attend for your appointment so that we can allocate your appointment to another patient.

Electronic Prescription Service
This GP offers the Electronic Prescription Service, which allows you to choose or "nominate" a pharmacy to get your medicines or appliances from. Your GP then sends your prescription electronically to the place you nominated. this means:
- If you collect your repeat prescriptions from your GP you will not have to visit your GP practice to pick up your paper prescription, saving time.
- You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
- You may not have to wait as long as your repeat prescriptions could be prepared before you arrive.
Asthma Uk
If you have asthma, or you're a parent of a child with asthma, you're in the right place for expert advice.
COVID19 update, 20th July 2020 - for further information please visit https://www.asthma.org.uk/advice/triggers/coronavirus-covid-19/
Asthma is a condition that affects your airways – the small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. But aside from this ‘textbook’ definition, asthma means different things to different people. So what does it mean to you?
Is it a new diagnosis you’re trying to get your head around? Have you been managing it well for years? Or are you struggling to cope with your symptoms?
Does it run in the family? Are you trying to understand the new medicines your child has been given? Is it your motivation for getting fitter and/or fundraising? Or the reason you've given up smoking?
Whatever asthma means to you, it’s useful to know more about how it affects you, both physically and emotionally, and why.
The more you understand the condition, the better position you’re in to work out with your healthcare team (i.e. your GP, asthma nurse and/or consultant) how to manage it well. Managing it well means that asthma will affect your life as little as possible.
If you have asthma:
If you’ve just been diagnosed with asthma, or even if you’ve had the condition for many years, you may have a long list of questions. To help you find some answers, we’ve put together lots of useful information - find what you need via the links above.
If you think you may have asthma:
Asthma is a complex condition to diagnose. We have lots of information about getting a diagnosis.
If your child has asthma
You may have lots of questions if your child’s recently been diagnosed. We’ve gathered all the information you need, plus lots of simple expert tips, in our Asthma And Your Child section.
If you think your child may have asthma
It can take time to get a diagnosis of asthma for your child. In the meantime, you probably have lots of questions and concerns. Our page on diagnosing asthma in children will give you the answers you need.
