GP Practices

All primary care services (GP practices, dental practices, pharmacies and optometry providers) remain open and people can continue to access them as they have through the pandemic.

Rising Covid infections are starting to have an impact on all NHS services, including primary care. This means that the services you need may be busier than usual. Staff are working hard to provide services and care for patients, so people are asked to respect them and be patient.

For your safety, you will need to contact your practice by phone or online to begin with. You will be assessed and offered a phone or video appointment, or a face to face appointment if you need one.

The majority of common conditions can be assessed and diagnosed by your doctor by telephone or video consultation. They are experienced and skilled in doing this. Using technology like this will help to protect you, your family and loved ones – and GP practice staff from the potential risk of the virus.
