Coronavirus Update 08/12/20

You may have heard through national media reports that GPs will start COVID-19 vaccination of priority groups (over 80s) from December 14th. 

NHS staff will contact patients who have been identified as priority to be offered the vaccine first. 

Please do continue to adhere to the Hands, Face, Space measures that are helping us limit the transmission of the virus. Thank you.

18/12/20 The first round of vaccinations locally will be completed today. Please do not contact us to make a booking. We will contact you in due course when further stock is available.

Norton Brook Coronavirus Update

Firstly, thank you for your support by following the stay at home and social distancing advice.

We have made a few changes to how patients access medical care, but we are still here for you when you need us!

We are managing most issues over the phone where possible, instead of seeing patients face to face - this is both to protect you and the staff at the surgery. We may offer you a video consultation where necessary if you have a smart phone, which involves being sent a link by text message which then connects you to the doctor. Your phone must have an internet connection and a camera for this to work. If the doctor feels you need to be seen face to face, an appointment will be offered (or a visit if absolutely necessary). Please bring a face covering with you if you have one. You should not have any contact with any common surfaces or anyone else.
