We are still open and here for you. We are continuing to provide services, as we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We are prioritising delivering of care and services based on clinical need.

If you need medical advice or treatment, you can contact The Practice on 0116 294 3100. Alternatively, online consultation requests for non-urgent help can be made at any time using the Engage Consult Portal (find out more below). They will be responded to as soon as possible, usually within two working days.

When you phone or go online, you will be asked to provide some information about your healthcare need. This will help the practice healthcare team assess the most appropriate way to provide your care and ensure it is provided by the most appropriate person. Face-to-face appointments are available to all patients where there is a clinical need.

If you walk into the practice you must adhere to social distancing; clean your hands and wear a face covering (unless exempt) and follow the one-way system. These measures are in place to keep staff and patients safe and help stop the spread of coronavirus.

If you have a disability or condition which means you cannot wear a face covering or cannot communicate with someone who is wearing a face mask, or require other adjustments before your appointment, please let the surgery know ahead of your arrival.

For clinical advice on minor health concerns, you can visit the local pharmacy.

For urgent issues or out of hours, you can also call the NHS on 111 or go online to seek NHS advice at 111.nhs.uk  If you have the NHSApp you can access NHS111 on it.  The app is available on iOS and android.

Our staff are working extremely hard to provide services and care and we would like to thank our patients for your continued support.

Please continue to follow the public health advice and stay safe during this pandemic.

Your GP Practice Team

All adults aged 18 or over can now get vaccinated against COVID-19. You do not need to wait to be contacted by the NHS.

If you have previously been contacted but have not yet booked your appointments, you're still eligible and can book your appointments anytime.

To get your vaccine you can:

- Book your COVID-19 vaccination appointments online for an appointment at a vaccination centre or pharmacy

- Find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site to get vaccinated without needing an appointment.

If you cannot book appointments online, you can call 119 free of charge. You can speak to a translator if you need to.

If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use textphone 18001 119 or the NHS 119 BSL interpreter service. 

Please do not call The Practice to book your vaccine unless we have contacted you directly.
