Coronavirus Update

Dear Patient/ Carer,


The clinician has to make a decision based on their knowledge, experience and skills to determine whether it is safe to manage the patient without physically seeing them or in the very rare circumstances if they decide to see the patient in person.

It is imperative that the clinician is allowed to make the decision in the best interests of the patient, their family and also the staff looking after them under extremely difficult circumstances.

In the meantime, please look at the advice on NHS Choices (, see information on your practice website, make sure you are following the advice you have been offered, use the online services the surgery offers and limit the amount of  contact you have with other people to only when essential.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
