Although the traffic light system has been removed General Practice still has an obligation to ensure high levels of infection control are managed. This means you will be required to wear a mask whilst in the practice, you will be screened when making your appointments – expect to be asked if you have any flu / virus like symptoms or have had Covid in the last 10 days. All patients will be seen although screening will ensure patients are been seen in the right locations – either in the practice (For all that don’t have flu / viral symptoms and haven’t had Covid in the last 10 days), or in the Portocom (Red Clinic) for anyone who is visiting the practice with symptoms or have had COVID in the last 10 days.
Our reception team are able to book you for a virtual or in practice visit. If you are unwell with flu / viral symptoms the reception team will transfer you to the nurse who will triage appointments to be seen by the rostered doctor in the Red Clinic
All prescriptions will be sent directly to the pharmacy of your choice.
