Due to coronavirus (COVID-19) we have made all of our GP appointments telephone triage appointments initially.
Telephone appointments will allow our doctors to assess whether you need to come to the surgery or not. It is hoped that reducing our footfall will help delay the potential spread of coronavirus amongst our patients and staff.
Please do not come to the reception desk to book an appointment - you must call us on 01924 767303 to arrange any appointment.
If you have a nurse appointment booked and you start to have any coronavirus symptoms please call us to cancel your appointment and do NOT attend the practice. You can contact us using the 'contact the surgery' tab if we are not open.
If you are attending the surgery for any reason we kindly ask that you wear a face covering to help stop the spread of coronavirus. There is no requirement for children to wear face coverings.
Please request repeat medication through online services or the NHS app. We are experiencing an extremely high volume of calls and we kindly request that anyone able, registers now for online access so our most vulnerable patients without internet access can still reach us.
If you are having difficulties getting set up online please us the 'contact the surgery' page to send us an electronic message and we will call you back to support your set up.
If you do not have a nominated pharmacy please nominate one as soon as possible so we can send your prescriptions electronically. This prevents you having to collect it from us to take it to your chosen pharmacy.
Do not attend the surgery if you have a new cough, high temperature or a change/loss of taste or smell.
Many thanks for understanding
Eightlands Surgery
