Covid 19 @ Iwade Health Centre

Iwade Health Centre currently have a high number of staff self-isolating due to Covid 19, and a member of staff unwell with Covid 19.

We are working hard to make sure that services remain accessible for all patients. We are continuing to offer telephone and video consultations for patients, along with face-to-face appointments when clinically necessary.

Patients may experience a delay in getting though on our telephone lines as a number of staff are either ill or self-isolating.

Online services continue to be available on the practice website and we would encourage patients who can use these to do so. If you are unable to get through to the practice and you have an urgent medical need, please call NHS 111.

Prescriptions will continue to be processed. Please make sure you order any repeat medication in good time.

We would like to apologise to all our patients for any inconvenience and thank them for their support and understanding as we take the necessary steps to keep patients and other staff safe from infection and protect the NHS.

Iwade Health Centre July 19th

As of yet the surgery has not received any official guidelines, regarding changes to COVID-19 related restrictions to GP services.

Due to the very fast increasing case numbers of COVID-19 in the area the surgery has made the decision to NOT make any changes to how it currently operates from the 19th July.

Face masks will still be asked to be worn if attending the surgery, our doors will remain closed, initial telephone triage will continue and you will be asked to pass screening questions before entering the surgery should you be asked to attend.

These decisions have been carefully made in order to protect, staff, patients, family and friends of all.

Thank-you for your continued cooperation.
