Coundon Branch Site

Coundon Branch will be re-opening on reduced hours from the 18th October 2021, however due to staffing issues we may have to close the branch at short notice. This will be a working model of telephone triage BEFORE a Face to face appointment will be offered by the clinician. Opening hours are Monday 8am – 12pm 2pm – 4pm, Tuesday 2pm- 4pm Thursday 8am-12pm.

Policy on Face Coverings - 19 July 2021

Important

Throughout the pandemic we have strived to make the surgery as safe as possible for all of our patients and staff. We will continue to do so going forward.

From 19th July nothing will change at the surgery – patients will still need to wear a mask, socially distance and use hand sanitiser in the surgery and staff will continue to wear PPE. We do understand that it can be frustrating but we know that when people come to us they are sick and vulnerable so we feel it would be wrong to not take these small precautions that will protect people.

In terms of opening up, as many of you know, we have never been shut and in fact have consulted with much higher numbers of patients then we did pre-covid (face to face, by phone, by e-consult and by video), not counting vaccinating the local adult population against covid-19.

Our Surgery has come so far in trying to minimise the impact of covid and we are sure you understand that we need to keep the surgery as safe for all patients as we can.

You can now use our online service to ask for help and advice. It is available to submit forms 24/7 and allows you to contact us outside normal hours. All of our responses will be in normal hours between 8:00am to 18:00.

Our extended opening hours are 7.30am opening on Monday and Thursday and this will be for telephone consultations.

Non-urgent advice: Before you go online

If you think you need to speak to a doctor, arranging a telephone consultation may be more appropriate. To do so please call the Surgery. Contact Us
